After more than a year of planning (and many more saving) we are finally on the road!
We will be in South & East Africa for ~6 months before heading to Madagascar, Reunion, Mauritius and India. ThenWeiterlesen

Quick (5 hour) stop in London Heathrow Airport. Luckily had 2 United Club passes so were able to enjoy a very nice shower and some champagne before our flight to South Africa.

Sorry for the limited updates. We have been a little busier than we thought, getting everything organized before heading out camping.

Picked up our friend, Cindy, at Jo'burg airport and drove to our first campsite in Kruger. Drive took a little longer than expected and arrived at sunset. Had lots of 'fun' setting up our camp for theWeiterlesen

Moved up north to Lower Sabie camp. Tonight we are in a bungalow since no campsites were available. Since it is raining, we do not mind. Our typical routine is up around 5am, light breakfast and outWeiterlesen

Watching these young elephants goofing around in the mud was a highlight (one of many) of the trip. They acted like the little kids they are - you could almost hear them giggling. I smile every time I think of it. Thank you guys for opening this door for me!! xxxxx
Rowena SingerTotally dig this pic of elephants just hanging at the waterhole doing their thing.

Next camp. Still raining. Decided to take advantage of an available bungalow and Cindy's generosity to stay indoors for a couple more nights until the rain subsides. We figure there will not be tooWeiterlesen
Casey LayfieldMonica wants to know what the wild dogs look like. We'd probably try to adopt one if we were there. 😜
Dobbs Away IIUnfortunately no pics -- they are very quick but ridiculously cute. Here's a link to a photo - https://goo.gl/images/1QwXNu

The warthog has been confirmed as Cindy's favorite animal! She was very excited to have an entire family of warthogs, including a few cute babies, running around our campsite when we got back from anWeiterlesen
Rowena SingerIt looks like you caught this cheetah doing some posturing or perhaps preparing to run while staring at the wildebeests.
Dobbs Away IIJohn went with the Cannon - 2 lenses which makes it tricky depending on how close the critter is!

With only 10 campsites, this is a much smaller and more rustic site than many of the larger camps we have visited. We stayed here about 7 years ago and it has always been our favorite in Kruger. TheWeiterlesen
Jeff LampertBeautiful pictures. It's like you're in a zoo........but you're not!! Looks like a great time, enjoy!

Last day in Kruger - did not disappoint! If anyone has the opportunity, visit any chance you have. Getting here is a long and expensive proposition from the US -- but once here you can easily rent aWeiterlesen

Long 9 hour drive from Phalaborwa to Botswana. Border crossing ok, but driving in Africa is always unpredictable and have to be constantly on the lookout for people and livestock on the road. CrossedWeiterlesen
Rowena SingerVery much looking forward to your pics of Botswana. While your Kruger pics brought back some nice memories of the beautiful animals in the park, I really, really wanted to visit Chobe and just couldn't swing it.
Richard JohnsonGreat to hear you arrived safe & sound. Travel safe & make lots of memories to cherish. Love you Uncle Richard
Chandra MedinaMissing you already! Hugs.
