Day 6: We head for the beach Woke up at 8 o'clock, which was a luxury, in Swaziland to a delectable breakfast of flap-jacks and all sorts of fancy things, it's still amazing to me all the delicious food Maretha can cook from a kitchen set in the side of a truck. Then packed up our tents and headed to the beautiful white sands and blue seas of St. Lucia.

Warm welcome to Swaziland Our earliest morning so far, as we all slowly emerged from our tents to get in our one last game drive before hitting the road to Swaziland.

After the short pit stop, we were back on the truck where we drove through the most adorable little towns all known for their interest...

Today we set off to the Kingdom of the White Lion. It's just about 5km from Lesedi Cultural Village but on a bumpy off road track it takes us nearly 30 minutes to get there. The Kingdom is owned by the legendary Lion Whisperer, Kevin Richardson. STA Travel partners exclusively with the Kingdom of the White Lion and is the only company who sends volunteers to work at this amazing project. The Kingdom of the White Lion although primarily set up for the filming of...
