Accommodations

I just remembered a moment from the trip that still makes me laugh. We were staying at Sabie Backpackers in the town of Sabie, near Kruger National Park. The staff there are really friendly, but strangely wigged out or high or something. They would always seem totally engaged in anything you were saying to them, and if you made any sudden gestures they would jump and gesticulate as though they had just seen a unicorn.
