Dag 1: Van Johannesburg naar de Bakubung lodge

Home Biota: what is it? Animals Plants Mammals Birds Insects NL EN

We arrived in Johannesburg late yesterday. This morning after a quiet start we drove to the Bakubung Bush Lodge. It is a large complex. We have lunch with a view of wild animals, and then we go on the first safari ride. You are divided into groups, and each driver is mainly looking for lions, leopards and cheetahs. As a by-product you get to see many other animals, from elephants to cormorants.
