Mini Muslimah Diaries

We relaxed in our room and then it was time to leave:-( *tears* Just when u get used to the place….u have to leave….I wished we could stay longer! The driver took us to the airport, I listened  to Nancy Ajram’s songs in the car (I have most of them on my iPad:-)) (she sings in Arabic) we arrived at the airport and checked in, we snacked on some crisps and chocolates and it was time to board the plane! We were lucky to have 3seats next to eachother and I made sure I take the window seat:-D i played some games on my iPad but before I knew it we already landed in Johannesburg! My holiday had officially come to an end:-( i think the next local holiday HAS to be Kwantu…..again:-)

P.S- I will post pictures later…

Ahh! Today we woke up nice and early and spend some time on the balcony. The weather was PERFECT! We had breakfast…an egg station where the chef makes your eggs anyway that you want it, sausages, roasted potatoes, baked beans….oh! Also muffins and scones…those were my favourites ! At 10am we went for a game drive where we seen elephants from a distance and seen giraffes up close! We also seen lots of different buck…I think we must have seen almost every kind:-) We came back to the hotel and played some tennis with my mum and dad…we had chances playing with each other:-D we had lunch…a selection of curries with rice(the butter chicken was delicious) soup,leg roast and salads…OH, and desserts…chocolate brownies and ice cream! Then we went to the elephant sanctuary where we sat on elephants and got a complementary interaction with the elephants where we fed the elephants…my dad actually put his HAND in the elephants mouth:-/ we had lots of fun! Then we came back and jogged using the running path, we completed about 3kms! afterwards we were exhausted and relaxed in the beautiful gardens! We spend some time in the game room where my mum and I played table tennis and my dad joined a game of pool! Now it’s dinner time! We had a braai! Not forgetting vegetables and pizzas, with a pasta bar, we had creme caramel for desserts…yummy! We sat outside for a while and enjoyed the breeze and when we got back to our room and sat on our balcony!:-) what a GREAT day!

Ahh! We just landed in PE and our driver was waiting for us at the airport. The drive was about 1hour but I was kept occupied by chatting with my mum and dad. My grandparents also came with. We arrived at Kwantu Priavte Game reserve . They welcomed us and were very friendly. They also gave us a complementary breakfast which was scrumptious! They allowed us to check into our rooms early which was really convenient for my mum and I! our room was fantastic! We had a spacious bathroom and a private balcony with a relaxing view….sometimes we could hear the lions growling from the Predator Camp! We went for a walking tour around, our guide was very friendly! it was a lovely break and my mum and I were surprised that we never even miss the shopping malls…not even a single bit! After a delicious lunch….served with a dessert, we went for a game drive. It was raining during the game drive but the game ranger was very organized and gave us plastic poncho’s and even blankets! We were EXTREMELY lucky to see lions…we even drove closer to them so we had a lovely experience…and it was only our first day! We came back to the hotel and relaxed in the lounge upstairs as it was just as good as a little library with an interesting selection of books for adults and kids, they also had a computer room. We went to our rooms to freshen up and went for dinner! We had a five course meal…with dessert – creme caramel!  We relaxed till late at night on our balcony where we could hear all the frogs from the water hole that was just below!
