Our whole time at Edeni (Chisomo) was amazing. On the second day we took a drive into town to do some local African shopping and got pictures of school children and of some local women out for a day excursion. The women were very friendly and pleased as punch to pose for and with us. Our last night at Edeni, Louie the chef served a most amazing 5-course dinner and topped it off with 7 (seven!) desserts. Wow! Another photo here shows the tents we lived in. When we first arrived, the women in the group were wondering how far their tent was going to be from the restrooms, but they were relieved to find full, modern facilities in each tent!
Upon leaving Edeni we toured the Blyde River Canyon area again, with the Three Rondavels (hills that look like Zulu Huts) and God's Window. It was beautiful up on top, but the Lowfeld below us was completely hidden in fog. It was interesting to see the fog creep right to the edge of the Escarpment but not come beyond it. A short hike at God's Window took us up into a beautiful rain forest.
We drove on to Pretoria and saw the Union Buildings - South Africa's capitol - and got to see a South African Wedding party as well.
