We touched down this morning around 8:30 am local time. The group was pretty groggy, but very excited to get to Ulusaba and begin our work in the community.
But first, we stopped at the cargo area to pick up a massive shipment of donated goods collected by Robin Lane and Baltazar Nuñez. Kudos to Adam Arenstein for organising the shipment and a huge thanks to Virgin America & Virgin Atlantic cargo.
After a seven hour drive through a tempest we reached Ulusaba (Sir Richard Branson's Private Game Reserve) well after dark. It’s an absolutely magical place, and especially after dark. We were greeted by Lindsay Tite and her husband Johan, who graciously hosted us in their home. Lindsay manages Pride ‘n Purpose, charitable arm of Ulusaba, co-funded by the lodge and Virgin Unite.
Many of us had our first braai (Afrikaans for barbeque) that evening which we loved. Our solar outdoor showers were a bit chilly and so many of us opted instead for a very rapid wash inside before heading off to bed. Girls retired to the Lindsay’s loft, while the guys had a staff house all to themselves across the garden.
Good night for now and more tomorrow.
