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. ThenOkumaya devam et

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.

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 tooOkumaya devam et
Casey LayfieldMonica wants to know what the wild dogs look like. We'd probably try to adopt one if we were there. 😜

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 anOkumaya devam et
Rowena SingerIt looks like you caught this cheetah doing some posturing or perhaps preparing to run while staring at the wildebeests.

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. TheOkumaya devam et

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.
