Miguel had a flight to Mexico and wanted to change it for a flight to Argentina. When one of his collegues offered him this flight to Johannesburg, he accepted it because he thought it would be easier to trade for a Buenas Aires flight (Mexico City isn´t a favorite destination) . When we learned that the South Africa flight had a three day layover, we called up Mari to see if she could come stay with the kids. She came with her sister and we were free to go.
We left Monday night and arrived Tuesday morning. There is only 1 hour difference between Johannesburg and Madrid, so no jetleg to speak of. We spent the first day exploring the area and getting ready for our mini safari. One of the flight attendents had arranged to stay at a Wildlife resort one night so we decided to join them. We left the next morning, not before checking out the election results (YEA OBAMA). We drove two hours north of Johannesburg to a resort/game reserve called Detholo (http://www.ditholologdge.co.za/).
We had lunch, sat around the pool and waited until it cooled off to go out and see the animals.

We also visited the De Wildt Cheetah Center

We had a wonderful time. I would love to go back . I feel that I have only seen the tip of the iceberg and I would love to see more.....
