Addo Elephant National Park We have both been brought up to appreciate “the bush” in South Africa.

5 Days on a cruise ship, what could go wrong 😉 ?? 3000 Party keen passengers, one incredible group of unplanned besties, far too many tequila sunrises and one boat ride back to the ship that felt like a rollercoaster ride.

The Karoo is already one of our favourite places in South Africa, so adding in some wildlife at Inverdoorn Safari is just the cherry on top for us. Inverdoorn is 60 kms outside of Ceres and right in…
