Kruger Park's Sabi Sands Reserve

After catching a charter flight to Sabi, Sheila drove to Chitwa Chitwa Private Game Lodge, where she was hoping to see a leopard (the only of the big 5 she hadn't yet set her eyes on). And leopards she saw a plenty of - which is not surprising, since the Sabi Sands Reserve is the best spot in Africa to see leopards (they're used to the vehicles).

Hosties & losing weight

"Many, many Hostie's, most of them in fact, fight their weight all the time. We've all had a dabble with slimming pills purchased in South Africa where they are legal. They are amphetamine based, just like that old clubbing favourite 'Speed', and someone is always bringing a supply in that sell like hot cakes." from the book "You F'Coffee Sir!".
