What an adventure! From January 6-18, Tom and I were down in the southern hemisphere of Africa, "overlanding" with Africa Travel Company (ATC) from Vic Falls to Jo'burg--meaning we travelled in a 23-passenger truck, pitched and slept in tents (often in the rain because it was the rainy season down there), and ate outdoors, helping the cook and cleaning up afterwards.

wow!
What a great itinerary. I did the pretoria, drakenberg mountain, kruger via swaziland trip in reverse order and the Joberg, soweto and overland drive to kruger part. South Africa is quite different from the rest of Africa so now you need to do either west or central africa to get a feel for the continent. I especially enjoyed Tanzania and the animals herding on the serengeti. Bravo

Great stuff
As always thoroughly enjoyed it (even if I have seen you both since). Hope we make it there one day. The people, the animals and the scenery are all memorable it seems. Hugs, PJ

Hillary, the pictures are magnificent! I had a room mate who traveled to Victoria Falls and for years, whenever she talked about the Falls, she started crying remembering them.

I love the Zulu earrings! If you have room for a couple of pairs of the round ones, I'll buy them from you. Can't buy them around here. I have an orange and a green pair. We went to SA 3 years ago. Petted lion cubs. We didn't get to Victoria Falls though.

Looks as though you had an incredible time and what a way to do it in those big over lander vehicles. I am looking forward to my up coming camping safari tour.
