The owners greeted us with a tray of milky rooibos tea, and guided us through the lush and fragrant garden to our chintzy, antique-filled rooms. It was a house for reading Kipling and eating fondant fancies, and we all fell instantly in love with it.

Didn’t you say you needed to be at the airport by 6.15?” The rest of my morning consisted of frantic rushing around, desperate pleading with the ground staff and a late arrival at O R Tambo Airport.

Crossing the country So began my first educational trip for Go2Africa. A pretty rocky start, but nothing could dampen my mood. I was on my way to Pafuri Camp. I’d seen the pictures and I couldn’t wait to get there. We still had a way to go, however. Pafuri is in the Makuleke Concession, the most remote sector of The Kruger National Park. The camp does have its own airstrip, but we were going to drive. From Johannesburg it’s still around 6.5 hours by car, which seems a ridiculously long time until you...

The guides then cooked us a dinner of their own choosing (which turned out to be quite tasty), and we enjoyed the most star-covered sky I had ever seen.
