HalfWeekTripper

Sausage Tree is, in a word, amazing. In four wonderful days we saw male lions, female lions, leopards (one having dinner in a tree), nearly twenty elephants at once, three wild dogs with eight puppies, both white and black rhinos (the black rhino charged our jeep until very close), zebras, hyenas, hippos, giraffes, impalas, and birds like rollers and hornbills. Let’s just call them the Big Dozen (or more). Then there are the staff and the owners. Themba, our driver, and trackers Polite and Life, were excellent and could not have done more to find the animals and get us so close to them. The chef and the ladies made and brought us such tasty meals that we gained a little more weight than we expected. We were also very pleased that owners Tamara and Dêon joined us for meals several times. We also went on other safaris on this trip. They were more expensive and not even as good an experience. If you haven’t already been to Africa and gotten up close to these beautiful animals, look no further. Sausage Tree is where you want to go!
