South Africa is a country of magnificent coastline, majestic mountains, endless grass plains, and is populated by numerous races and colours of people, that speak 11 official languages. And then there are the animals: huge numbers of carnivores, grazers, reptiles, birds and many, many more. I would describe it as sensually spectacular and I felt constantly astonished by what I saw and experienced.
My partner Dan and I, and 2 dear friends, Karen and Pete, travelled for a month, and during that time went on a 2 week safari into the wilderness of S Africa and Botswana with the expertise of another couple, Bess and Chip. They provided us with our camping gear and on-going identification and information as well as careful warnings about everything we saw.
There are many styles of safaris: swanky lodges with guides, fenced compounds (to keep animals out, and people in) or outback camping in the bush with few facilities and very few people nearby, and of course being fiends for adventure, that is what we did!
It is my intention to post, over the next 10 days or so, a humble summary of our fantastic journey, so please tune in...I hope you enjoy the photos.
