The family and I made the trip to Hoedspruit again this past weekend, to enjoy some “rest and relaxation” at Raptor Retreat Game Lodge.
As always, we had the best time. Keith and Sharmaine are the perfect hosts and always make our stay one to remember and cherish.
We stayed in the self catering units, which are JUST amazing. Each sleeping 4 people, they have a top of the range, fully equipped kitchen, on suite bathrooms, separate toilets, open plan kitchen, dining room and lounge area and a stunning wooden deck that overlooks the watering hole. We braaied in the boma, swam in our private pools, did the game drives,
watched the rugby
, sat on our decks and watched the animals go by, met some new friends (Davis and Pippa Loupe, from Lawrence, Kansas were here for their 25th wedding anniversary
) prayed for rain and slept
In all my years of visiting this area, I have never seen it so dry. Rain is desperately needed.
Thanks again Keith and Sharmaine for hosting us.
