As Tour Operators, we quickly learnt that many of our international guests want to see the Big5 wild animals (Elephants, Rhinos, Buffaloes, Lions and Leopards) and most of the guests have heard about the Kruger National Park in South Africa. In the past we have taken guests to the Dinokeng Game Reserve which is only a 30 minute drive from SunEden and to the Pilanesberg Game Reserve which is a 2,5-hour drive from SunEden. We had never arranged tours in the Kruger National Park which is about a 6-hour drive from SunEden. That got us thinking, why don't we arrange a Big5 Safari Group Tour which can go to Kruger, Pilanesberg and Dinokeng.
We did research, and the Joxilox Big5 Safari Group Tour was born. We found accommodation near all 3 of the game reserves which was either naturist or naturist friendly and nudity was possible if we booked enough rooms. The first tour was arranged for March, 2024. We had an enquiry from 3 persons who are from Lake Como, the famous naturist resort in Florida, USA. They wanted to attend the February Naked Tour and they also wanted to attend the Big5 Safari Tour. We also received enquiries from a French couple and a single lady from the USA for the March 2024 Big5 Safari Group Tour.
We arranged a special Big5 Tour in the last 2 weeks of February for the first group of 3 and another Big5 Tour in the first 2 weeks of March 2024 for the other group of 3. Our Joxilox Tour business has been growing nicely and so we decided to buy a second-hand VW Kombi, which is an 8-Seater Mini-Bus. We could easily fit 5 including Amanda and myself into the new transport. Expensive, hired Mini-Busses were now a thing of the past. We kept our double cab bakkie for additional transport.
The weather was very hot and sunny for both Big5 Safari Tours with occasional rain at night. Our Marloth Park/Kruger accommodation was perfect, and many wild animals and birds visited us at the house every day. We were nude most of the time there. We also went on EARLY MORNING Game Drives in Kruger each morning. Our tour guide, Glen, who owns Southern Kruger Safaris, is amazing and highly experienced so we saw everything on our long list except for Cheetahs, which we saw at Dinokeng.
There was load shedding sometimes but luckily there were inverters and batteries which ensured that we had power for WiFi and fans etc. At Marloth Park we had dinners at various restaurants and our guests were suitably impressed. At Pilanesberg, the Italian owner of the guesthouse is a highly experienced chef, so the food is always delicious there. We spend most of the time nude in the guesthouse and skinny dipping.
We often stop for lunch on our way, so we stop at places like Alzu where our guests saw Rhinos, Buffaloes and various types of bucks. On the way, we surprised our guests by taking them to the Lesedi Cultural Village for the cultural show and for the African Food (Including Kudu, Crocodile, and other types of meat). Some of our guests also went to the Lion and Cheetah Sanctuary, near SunEden, where they stroked a Cheetah. We had breakfast at Veldjie Kiosk in Dinokeng which included "Rooster Koek" and "Moer Koffie". Our guests really enjoyed the tours because many have already booked tours to be held later this year and for tours in 2025. In November this year we will host a couple from Germany for the 5th time. Our guests have mostly become our close friends.
