The rest of the drive up to the Skukuza Golf Club was relatively quiet and we only stopped a few times for the normal gang, but never took any pics until just before the club when a Korhaan made an appearance.

We were happy that the golf club renovations were finished, because it was a kak construction site on our last visit, however it was surprisingly busy, so it’s definitely grown in popularity.
Luckily, I had remembered to stash some slops under my car seat especially for the golf club, which was fortunate because the bare foot hating aunty was sitting at reception as you enter and I watched her eyes go down to my feet, so I nearly waved my foot in the air to emphasize the slops, but decided against it.
The menu is pricy when compared to the pre-renovation menu that we loved, but I suppose it’s comparable to other larny restaurant prices now.
We all had the gold-plated toasted sarmies and wandered around for awhile to check things out before heading back towards Lower Sabie down the H4-1.
We stopped again just before the H12 bridge as there were numerous cars and OSVs in 1 of those little lollypop loops. I wasn’t keen to enter the loop due to the number of cars, but as I was about to continue on another car came out the loop and the lady said we must check it out because it was 3 male lions close to the road, so we entered the queue of cars to wait our turn.
OSV drivers can piss people off, however in this case an OSV driver had organized the cars and it strangely felt like the KZN lion park/zoo. All the cars were queuing in a line, when you got to the lions you had a few minutes to take your pics and then continue around the lollypop and exit. Everybody was obeying the pattern, so the queue was moving fairly quickly, however just before we got to the lions some faulty ballie and crew decided to jump the queue and push their way in, so we immediately started chirping and fortunately so did numerous other cars, so the “special crew” reversed back out with their tail between their legs and joined the queue like everybody else.
I see online that people have differing opinions on crowded sightings with some stating that they can sit in the prime spot all day if they want to, but luckily, we didn’t encounter one of those people in this queue. The lions were only visible from 2 vehicle positions in a deep sleep; therefore we snapped a few quick pics and exited the crowd.
