South African Adventures

Anyone who knows me, knows I love animals.  I enjoy zoos, wild animal parks, and even wildlife refuges and can stand for hours watching animals in their respective habitats. Therefore, it is not difficult to believe why I'm looking forward to our trip this year, a South African Safari!!!!!

In just a few days, Joe and I are embarking on our South African Adventure.  This trip -- organized by &Beyond of South African Airlines -- allows us the opportunity to see and experience a lot of South Africa.  We are going to drive ourselves (on the left side!!!!) from Cape Town along the southern coast to various small towns (where we will also do some whale watching).  After a short flight from the Port Elizabeth Airport to Durban, we will continue our drive up the Eastern Coast (perhaps even through Swaziland) to Kruger National Park and to the game reserves of Makasa, Pongola. and Sabi Sabi.  It is Winter in South Africa when the bush is at its thinnest, so game viewing is easier, and the temperatures are mild (maximum 20 to 23°C). I can't wait to get my opportunity to be face to face with a lion or elephant or giraffe (not so close as to feel their breath).  Below is a link to &Beyond.  We'll do our best to keep updating (with pictures!), I don't know how much internet access we'll have on the plains of South Africa.

Tot later en gelukkig reis (until later and happy journey in Afrikaans)
