Babotie? (vegetarian of course)

although first guess would be some kind of quiche
You got it. I didn't write the name since most people wouldn't know what it was.

Super, awesome, amazing, and a million other adjectives! Thanks so much for taking the time, will iy"h be very helpful one day.

That lounge has essentially free hotel rooms!? That's awesome!
Thanks! Yup, the lounge is basically a free hotel room, and nicer than the terminal hotel that costs $250 at least according to Lucky.

+1!
the entire tr is professionally done and definitely bucket list worthy. and to think you did it all with a baby makes it even more inspirational
You're welcome!

the reason for the four leg return was availability issues or u wanted to check out these airports?
So we could check out EY Apt which had great availability for a limited time right when we needed it.

Thanks for all the effort in writing this and sounds like you had an awesome trip.

You learn something new every day!

Glad you enjoyed, though if your dad is South African why haven't you been yet?!

Wow. GREAT TR! I'm glad you went! Why didn't your child join for the game drives?

Thanks. So am I. We couldn't bring our daughter on the game drives because the lodge doesn't allow kids under 6 on the drives (though we saw other lodges that did).

Did you go to Ohr Sameach in CPT? Also SPAR? It's like Checkers.

I only went to Morasha in CPT. I didn't go to Spar or Shoprite despite Shoprite being across the street because the selection at Checkers was amazing and was told it was the best. What advantage does Spar have over Checkers?

Great, great TR! Loved it!

I've been eyeing SA for the longest. One of these days we'll have to make it down there.

I love how AA managed to stand out of all carriers on their one and only leg of the trip  ::)

Yeah, in the worst way possible. If you're going to go to SA, consider going from Brazil, since it's illegal to charge YQ on flights departing Brazil and SAA flies GRU-JNB. Glad you enjoyed BTW.

They're pretty good at it nowadays.

I doubt I'll be going to SA from SA (not a typo...) since I already use my vacation days going there.
