February 2020. We are still in Tucson, Arizona, well, often anyway. We continue our wanderings and enjoying our adventures. We haven't lived outside the US in awhile, but have lived in: Guatemala, Ecuador, the Netherlands (twice), Germany (twice) and South Africa. We have now traveled to well over 100 countries, but that doesn't mean we plan on stopping any time soon. ... full info

These crazy zebras knew the lions (there are 3 more being the visible one) were there but decided to challenge him.

The zebra walked right up to the lion somewhat aggressively

Road sign

Meercats

We didn't see many meetcat colonies, but the ones we did see gave us great joy - we followed them for awhile before they got bored with us and went underground

Pronking springboks

Look closely and you'll see many of these springbok are 'pronking,' which is springing straight up with an arched back and stiff legs. 'Pronk' comes from the Afrikaans word 'pronken' which means to strut or show off.

Oryx/Gemsbok as far as the eye could see

Mongoose, stripped

Hook & Mouth Disease Stop

We were stopped so many times - couldn't count them. We lost some sausage once, but learned not to travel with meat after that. The vehicle had to roll thru a disinfectant wash, we had to walk thru a foot wash and the vehicle was sprayed down

I don't usually read much of your blogs... They are so interesting but long. But this one really was good. Camping in the bush was really interesting. Pictures were great!
