Easter Trip to Botswana & Vic Falls - Part 1

May 5th 2013
Judy and Wray Joiner of Kansas City flew to Africa to share our adventure to Victoria Falls and Chobe NP in Botswana. Judy and Rita worked as Dental Hygienists together for 23 years, so they are like sisters. The Joiners arrived a day late due to problems with their flight out of Atlanta. So unfortunately their vacation was cut short by a day. Once they arrived, they had a day to go up to Ukutula, to get some one on one time with some lions, then on the 20th we rented two 4x4's with roof top tents, and headed north out of Pretoria. We stopped for dinner at KFC in Mokopane. We only drove for about four hours on our first day so we could cross the border into Botswana early the next day. That night ... read more

Over the Christmas Holiday, we were fortunate to have visitors from KC. The St. Clair family made the long flight from Kansas City to Johannesburg to experience the holidays South African style. Shortly after they arrived (the next day to be exact) we took them to Ukutula Lion Reserve. This proved to be an amazing Christmas Gift for us all. We never imagined having so many close encounters with lions in the coarse of 24 hours. After having been in Africa for over a year and a half now, I must say this was the most enjoyable experience to date. The Reserve is currently home to around 90 lions, as well as many other Africa species, including a very friendly Cheetah name Emma, Caricals, Serval Cats, and all many other antelope species. The day started off ... read more

Due to the South African holiday "Day of Reconciliation" on December 16th, we were able to have a long weekend at the beach near the town of St. Lucia. The beach that we chose to visit resided in the Isimangalisa Wetlands Park. It was a beautiful 30 mile drive north out of the town of St. Lucia that took us through the Wetlands Park, which was full of wildlife, including 4 of the "Big Five" (Leopard, Elephant, Cape Buffalo & Rhino). We were fortunate enough to see a Leopard, several Rhino and Buffalo. The beach was gorgeous, the Indian Ocean was cool, the sun was hot and the wind blew like crazy. The day we arrived, we looked into doing a "Turtle Safari". This area is known to be the nesting grounds of the Loggerhead and ... read more
