On our second night in Jo’burg, after relaxing in the Saxon
all day (we couldn't tear ourselves away from the outstanding service and spa),
we were treated by the Saxon with a bottle of champagne delivered to our room
at 4:00.
Kevin and Barbara again met us
in the outdoor terrace and we let the bottle go to our heads. We then headed off to Moyo, which specializes
in traditional African cuisine from a variety of countries. We walked through a dark plaza, as Jo’burg
was suffering an electricity blackout emblematic of a rapidly developing
emerging market. Moyo’s kitchen was
luckily run on gas and using only candlelight actually enhanced the
experience.
Corey ordered ostrich, which was tender and wonderfully
flavored, like the springbok not gamey but rather rich and delicious.
I had an Ethiopian dish, which unfortunately
was not my favorite. So let’s just say
that if you go to Africa , try ostrich. With our bellies full, we headed back to the Saxon for a good night's rest before taking off to Sabi Sabi in the morning.
