Lige nogle nye billeder herfra og lidt opdatering. Min søster har lige været på besøg, og det var super hyggeligt. Vi var lidt rundt i landet, først i Blyde River og Kruger og derefter Cape Town. Her er nogle billeder fra den første del af turen: Vi var først på strabads-hiking i Blyde River: jeg kunne ikke gå normalt i flere dage efter, men lignede kronisk en, som havde skidt i bukserne. Derefter overnattede vi to nætter i Kruger - med dyrelyde lige udenfor vores telt. Vi så rigtig mange dyr, og det lykkedes i sidste minut Iben at se alle The Big Five, da vi spottede 3 næsehorn meget langt væk på vores vej ud af parken. De havde ellers gemt sig godt på hele safarituren. Men se mere selv!... read more

it doesn't realy get any better than a bottle of red and a sunset safari 11th Feb, Kwazulu Natal, Drakensburg mountains Hello!!! How are you guys liking the snow? Ha! So!

Managed to get a free upgrade from a dorm to a double room at about 2am. Result! Gavins friend happens to work for that Africa channel on sky, just before you get to ... read more

"Happy New Year!" Our hushed celebrations rang out into the warm Summer air, as glasses of champagne were clinked together joyously. I found myself mesmerized by the surrounding night, staring out across the swirling blackness of the Shingwedzi River, I could only just detect the outline of the horizon in the distance. Apart from celebratory camera flashes and the magnificent scattering of stars, the lights from the 24-seater Landy were the only other source of illumination. I took a sip of champagne and smiled to myself in the night air. This was the first time I was spending New Year in the Kruger National Park and I couldn't think of a better place to be. We entered the park at Phalaborwa gate on the 29th and, after a stop at Letaba, headed north to Shingwedzi rest ... read more
