Day 3 was mainly about travelling the around 400km by coach from Johannesburg to Hazyview where our hotel was as a base for the Kruger National Park and area around there.
So most of the day but for one stop at a motorway service station with a wildlife reserve behind it where we could see rhinos etc. from the distance and a another bit longer to grab some food we were watching the country go by.
In the early afternoon we arrived at our hotel, the Casa do Sol Hotel Hazyview, apparently a 4 star, but compared to the standards I am used to, more a 3 star hotel.
Accommodation was in so called casas, like rather big 1 room apartments in Spanish style houses with a huge bathroom - not the most modern furniture but decent.
Everyone of the group then went on a so called night drive to the Kruger National Park for a few hours, I though preferred to stay at the hotel and just relax at the pool and as I learnt when the group returned and I joined them for dinner didn't miss much - and I actually had fun with vervet monkeys around the pool teasing other hotel guests - so hilarious to watch that!
