We booked our September 14th flight to Spain…Not the easiest route from here…

Here’s the route we’ll be taking from South Africa to Spain on September 14th.

Finally, we took the time to research flights from South Africa to Spain, which were scheduled to depart in 52 days. It’s incredible how quickly our total six months in Marloth Park are soon coming to an end. Surely, in the future, we’ll return, but for now, we have other plans on the horizon.

We conducted extensive research to find the shortest time and best pricing, ultimately ending up on Expedia.com on our website at this link.

We’d hoped to book a shorter flight, but this was the only option available. No, we don’t look forward to another Red Eye, but from here, it’s unavoidable.

In the meantime, we will continue to live in the moment and enjoy every remaining day in the bush, surrounded by our wildlife and human friends. Today at 4:30, we’re meeting friends Roz and Les at Ngwenya or sundowners on the deck and the dinner buffet inside the lovely restaurant.

We’ll be back with more.

Be well.
