Going around the world just to come home and realize it’s the best place on earth!
I had the absolute joy of going on safari in the Northwest Province of South Africa with a group of my best friends. Two of them have never been on safari, and it was a privilege to expose them to this amazing experience. Safari means journey in Swahili, and experiencing nature and wildlife up close like this is something that takes your heart on a journey that will touch you for the rest of your life.
Of all the things I’ve experienced, I can promise you this one thing: once you have the dust of African soil on your feet, you will never shake it off.
Sunset over the veldt with sundowners.This beauty rose its head for a split second and I was lucky to get this pic!Our sundowner snacks – from top left clockwise: biltong, crisps, sundried mango and pecan nuts.Zebra mom and baby.Lunch – three types of salads, chickpea fritters and a vegetable lasagne: everything was delicious.Lion eyes can give quite a stare.These buffalo were so skittish. We saw two male lions and another pride a few hundred meters from the watering hole. The buffalos could smell them and made quick work of having a sip at the watering hole.Sunlight on these white rhinos.This is what you do when you are not on a game drive.At the watering hole: zebra, impala, wildebeest, and buffalo.Cheetah brothers bum to bum.Sunrise on the early morning game drive.Elephant crossing!Boma dinner: barbecue and side dishes served from these black African pots.
