Dear readers.
It's been the first week since I have been back and the course I have been divided into was site guide. We have been doing game drives this whole week so much that it has become our second nature!
The first couple of days were not as busy but then the rain hit and the night drives had to be rescheduled. So last night we had two night drives in one go and with people not pitching for work we were in a bit of a struggle... Luckily we managed but doing a game drive in the rain is no joke! We were all soaking wet and so we decided to stop at one of the entertainment areas in the Makhato region so the guests could hide under the lapa until the rain quiets down. It was actually a lovely experience as we used the opportunity to tell them more about the types of accommodation at Sondela, the students at the Academy and the activities going on at the moment and in future.
We cleaned the seats for the guests with a mop and toilet paper so they would not get as wet but the rain caught us again on our way to reception. Also an interesting thing happened when we rolled down the sails on the sides of the vehicle, we found a baby bat sleeping in the sail. When we stopped at reception it woke up and flew away.
We have a busy weekend waiting and a whole lot op people to welcome today, I am needed in reception again to help out as they are short on staff. Here we go!
