Was-sup my winter weaders. Trev here. Your man on the blogging ground. Your international handmodel with a finger in every cherry blossom apple pie. And today I’ll be dishing the delicious dirt on the Sabi River Sun Lifestyle Resort, which you’ll find on the banks of the Sabi River.

If you stay here, my much-travelled maaitjies, you’ll be in the hot seat for all sorts of exciting activities. If you want to bite the adventure bug while it sleeps in a rug in its bed, you could get in some exploring of local attractions such as the Kruger National Park, Bourke’s Luck Potholes, God’s Window, the Blyde River Canyon and Pilgrim’s Rest.

And if it’s more of a chill that’s your pill to make you feel a mill, then maybe just take some time out and relax next to the river, play a little tennis, a little golf. Just get your unwind on. I did, and it did wonders for my wind. As in, the wind in my sales. I have a way with metaphors – I know.

Why not bake yourself a slice of this action pie? Click here to book yourself a stay at the Sabi River Sun Lifestyle Resort. From R2 253 per person sharing (based on 1 chalet that sleeps 4) you’ll get return flights from Jozi to Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport (including all taxes), 3 nights in a 2-bedroom self-catering chalet, Group J Car Hire with 200kms per day and standard insurance cover.

Hey folks, it’s me again. Your resident travellicious trev who loves to travel. The shaman who knows the way of the scrabble chips. The magician who’s got a knack to bushwhack.

First up we’re taking a look at Shiduli Lodge, situated in the heart of the Kruger Park. Folks, this is a special place. If you’ve been dreaming of ‘a home where the buffalo roam’, then Shiduli might just be your lucky day of a dream destination. Because from R3 758 per person sharing, you could get yourself 2 night’s accommodation in this haven of Highveld happiness. Ja, try saying that five times fast.

Anyway this deal includes breakfast, as well as return flights (JNB / MQP / JNB) and a standard group J car to rent (that means the car has an engine and a steering wheel). Click here to book.

I’m on the road again to my next Kruger-licious deal, which is one star up from the last gig. Basically, for R4 544,00 per person sharing, you can get yourself 2 nights in the 5-star Imbali Safari Lodge.

Now let me show you what you’re in for at the Imbali Lodge, because it’s quite something.

5-star luxury – just what an international scrabble champion deserves.

I don’t know about you but the first place I’d be hitting if I were here would be that Jacuzzi. I’d crack open a beer and call to the lions with my manly grunting sounds, which many a girlfriend has complimented me on.
“You sound like a lion dying while giving birth,” they say.
“Oh, I know baby,” I’d say, giving them the ol’ Trev Special™ (an eyebrow wiggle I recently trademarked).

But don’t take my word for how incredible this all sounds. From R4 717,00 per person sharing, you get could 2 nights at the Imbali Lodge in the Kruger national park, including all your meals and safari activities, and coming standard with group J car to hire. As well as your return flights (JNB / MQP / JNB).

Click here to get in on this deal. Start practising your lion grunts. You won’t regret it. Trev

Greetings my travellicious friends. Hope you’re all as dandy as this hunk of mancandy (by mancandy I mean ‘me’… no doubt you knew that though). Today we’ll be doing a little more bundu-bashing. And by ‘bundu’ I mean ‘soft fluffy towels’. And by ‘bashing’ I mean ‘lying around in’. It is all happening in the bush though, at the Royal Legend Safari Lodge in the Timbavati Game Reserve, home to the Big Five.

The reason I place emphasis on how soft the towels are is because, for a oke like me, the contrast between the luxury of this joint and the unpolished nature of the bush is quite a vibe. It’s quite a sensation to feel so catered too, yet also feel so raw. Like a caveman with an iPad. Like a ranger with a beepa.

From only R4263,00 per person sharing, you too can feel like a troglodyte with a 3310. This 5-star package includes 2 nights accommodation, all your meals and safari activities, a Group J car to hire and return flights from JNB / MQP / JNB.

Anyway, I’ve been pondering some of life’s deep questions. They say, to really know a man, you have to walk a mile in his shoes. And I’ve been wondering whether this philosophy can be applied to rhinos?

Rhinos. Ag sweet man.

Why rhinos, you ask? Well have you ever seen a rhino with an existential crisis? Do you see what I’m saying here? Which brings us to this week’s bush-whacky adventure, The Rhino Walking Safari at the Kruger National Park.

From only R4353,00 per person sharing, you can experience a 4-star, 2-night experience that mixes up luxury with the trail-walking experience. It lets you get inside the skin – or the shoes – of the animals you have come here to see, without getting your own feet dirty. Well, maybe they will get a little dirty. It’s good to push boundaries sometimes. Come face-to-face with your character in the wild.

Coming face to face with my bed

The deal also comes with all meals included, and various safari activities. You also get a Group J hire car, and it includes return flights from JNB / MQP / JNB. Best you click here and book yourself one of these bushwhacking deals. And to really know what it’s like to walk a mile in a Rhino’s shoes.
