Hotel right in centre of Cape Town, markets right out front. Went on red bus.and Table Mountain and beaches didn’t disappoint. Found a fabulous water front market and visited the Botanical Gardens xxx
Been a very busy couple of days. Yesterday did a city walking tour. Today we went on a day trip to Bo-Kaap where the coloured people painted their houses in very bright colours. On to Cape Point the most south-western point of the African Continent and then we.visted the penguins aaah xx
So yesterday we flew from Cape Town to Johannesburg and then on to Soweto which was a real eye opener. Went to Mandelas home and heard all the shocking details off apartheid
Had 2 wonderful days. Left Johannesburg and 6 hours journey with 3 beautiful stops with spectacular scenery. Arrived at our glamping site on a river bank near to Kruger National Park. Amazing amount of animals, spent all day in a.jeep with a lunch stop at a golf club.
Just got here and.now.going on a bush.walk looking for the top five Small Animals. Let’s hope we don’t encounter any of the big one’s. Animals including zebra’s roaming wild. Up at 5 tmrw for another safari yippee
Another safari this morning starting at 6. Saw 2 female lions, wilderbeast, African painted dogs, giraffes, zebra’s. Very cold believe it or not. On the coach and on to these beautiful thatched cottages and a lovely cat came to visit knew I shouldn’t have given it milk. On to Zambia tmrw, and another adventure xxx
In to Zambia this morning and a farm stay for 2 nights. We went for another game drive and had an amazing encounter with rhino’s. Got up veeery close to them and we had to have a very fast walk away from them as they were approaching us faaast . Fabulous food and we have marvellous travelling companions xxx
Sunset cruise down the Zambezi looking for hippos and crocs wasn’t disappointed. Some of our group left today and we have a dinner to meet our new guide and travellers. Fabulous accommodation xx
Another safari park and saw about 60 elephant’s gather around a water whole as the sunset. Today I went on a helicopter over Victoria Falls. Beautiful Victoria Falls. Magnificent. Victoria Falls is part of the Zambezi River The Zambezi River is the fourth-largest in the African continent and spans across six different nations – its amazing journey spans an impressive 2,700 km. Along the way, you can see a range of wildlife and participate in a plethora of activities. Victoria Falls is the boundary dividing the upper and middle parts of the Zambezi. Victoria Falls is neither the widest nor … Read more
So last night we stayed at Elephant sands where the elephants roam free around the camp site. Sat for about 3.hours just having a drink and viewing them and there funny behaviour. Fabulous dinner under the stars. Unfortunately we viewed an injured male lion who had previously had a fight. Tmrw we are going on our first camping trip in canoes with just a back pack . Watch this space lol
So another beautiful meal under the stars and next day an early start (every day) by Jeep for 1 & half hours to Okavango Delta where we very carefully got on a Makoro (canoe). We paddled for an hour to an island where our tents were erected, and a kitchen set up on the underneath of a canoe !!! We had to be careful of hippos coming underneath us and tipping us Over. Bush walk looking for wildlife, didn’t disappoint and then dinner round the camp-fire with a lot of animals calls all night. Breakfast, walk and back on the … Read more
Today we.visited Pendura a collective for women where they are self sufficient selling craft’s and embroidery. At Etosha it was very confronting seeing young women with babies with craft’s for sale.but basically begging. Looking filthy. Of course animals on our way to our camp site.
Another whole day safari with lots of fabulous animals . Arrived in Swakopmund for 2.nights and did some very enjoyable shopping. Back to the desert tmrw for 2 nights camping yuk
We are now in the desert and the scenery is magnificent, not possible to capture the beauty of the hills, troughs, colours and rugged terrain. Did I say before it’s 2 nights in a tent in the sand. Not.happy Jan xx
So on the west coast of Africa coming back down to Cape Town. Camped in the Desert and freezing at night. Wine in an enamel mug does not taste the same. The dunes in the Desert are spectacular all different colours and very majestic. Stopped and walked in Giant’s Playground more than just a collection of giant boulders and rocks from millions of years ago. The cheetahs unfortunately were captive because they have injuries. Then a walk through the quiver tree’s another phenomenon of Namibia. Xxx
The end of a magnificent adventure with.great friends. 30 days together and lot’s of laughter. Covered 7,200 klms in a coach and much too much good food. There will never be another adventure too match this for me but I will keep trying xxx
