OUT OF AFRICA

On one of our game drives, we stopped to visit another lodge in Nambiti called Eseweni. Oh my word - it was breathtaking! It has been built off the edge of a cliff and is absolutely gorgeous. It is way up high and overlooks a river where the animals come to drink. Kay and Byron are standing on the deck overlooking the gorge. None of us could afford to stay here - maybe those who earn American dollars would be so lucky! This is the river below. Not for the fainthearted!
This is a side view of the flow pool and deck.


They showed us one of their guest suites. Beautifully rustic but luxurious. This bath is actually out on a private deck, which overlooks the valley. Awesome!!
This is the bathroom inside the room.
The decor is stunning. Look at the elephant made out of towels, in between the pillows.
This is the lounge area. Plush leather, thatching and hot chocolate - what an aroma!
This was back at our humble Long Grass Lodge, but the same skill is shown here - Not sure what the serviettes were supposed to be - maybe a Secretary Bird, or a Stork or an Ostrich, but to Byron it was Tyrannusaurus X ... or something like that!!
We loved these little wrought iron candle holders - the colourful shirts and tops were all beaded.
We stopped for lunch at these cascades and pools. Wish it was summer - we could have enjoyed some fun bum slides.

Look at those bum slides behind us.

If I were just a bit closer I don't think I could have resisted pushing Mel in!
HIPPO - there was a 'tiny' baby in this family - only a couple of months old. Too cute!!
The wind blew right through us on the game drives - Mel underestimated how cold it would be!!
Dream on!!
This was 'bloomin' high up - my feet got pins and needles just watching these two getting so close to the edge. I'm getting old!!
That's as far as I could go!
My favorite animal!

Inside the landrover - flippin' freezing!
