Valentine’s Day : Meet a Few of Our Khaki-Clad Couples

The bushveld is a breeding ground for love : romantic love, love of the wild and love of landscapes. This Valentine’s Day we want you to find inspiration in nature and create space for love. Intuitively we all know that the great outdoors has the ability to strip us of our city slicker woes and help us in the quest to find inner peace. The bushveld is a primitive, rugged place that reminds us that love, harmony, kindness and synchronicity between body and earth is key to wellbeing. Find the realness within, and you’ll find a sense of connection. A few of our khaki-clad couples found developed a connection in the bushveld, and fell in love. Today we’re going to introduce these couples and find out their story. Remember…couples that play together, stay together !

Chacma Bush Camp

Brit and Jay manage Chacma Bush Camp. This is their story.

Brit says, ” Jay and I will be together for 5 years on the 5^th June 2020 and will be saying I do on the 6^th June 2020. We both have a passion for the bush and our passion brought us together. We met at a small lodge in the Northern Sabi Sands before moving to the Western sector of the Sands where we have spent the last four years together and have now just recently started at Chacma Bush Camp.

A bit of a cliché but our first date would have been the highlight of the rest of our lives together. Jason had prepared a small bush dinner for just the two of us around the fire in a dry riverbed. While we dinned around the fire, we had 2 Honey badger scurry past, a White Rhino and a Leopard vocalising only a few meters away. “

Africa on Foot

We’ve selected two couples from Africa on Foot that opted to be in our Valentine’s Day shoot. We do have other couples in the Klaserie, but these are the ones that don’t mind the spotlight.

AD and Cherie are the camp managers of Africa on Foot, and they are high school sweethearts.

Cherie says, “Ad and I both come from the same small town Kimberley. We were in the same primary school, high school and church. Our paths constantly crossed, yet we did not know each other. Until one Sunday morning I received a message from the 17 year old boy saying I looked very pretty at Sunday school. I was 15 years old, so clearly I had all the butterflies in the world when the cutest boy at church noticed me.We became the bestest of friends. Although we are COMPLETE opposites we have all the same interests. One of the main ones being the love for nature and the outdoors.

Therefore, after 6 years we are extremely blessed that we get to call the bush our home – with wildlife on our doorsteps and a best friend to share this experience with. There is no better place in the world to fall in love.”

We have yet another couple from Africa on Foot, who’ve been a massive part of the Africa on Foot team for years ! It’s none other than Judy and Alfie, valuable employees of Africa on Foot.

Judy says, “Hello, I’m Judy Machaile from Mozambique. When I met Alfredo Cuambe at Chokwe it was 2002 -13 September. He is the 1 I call my husband today. We have 2 kids – we named them Suzan and Adele, a first and second born. God bless us with cute baby girls. My husband – we love each other and the memories that we have! My man, he’s a caring, sharing & loveable man. I adore him very much. We came here to South Africa to work but every time we go home to see our family members.”

Roam Private Game Reserve

Abi and Don have plenty of experience when it come managing luxury lodges. This power couple both possess an exceptional amount of knowledge about the wild and conservation. Here’s how they met…

Abi says that when she was based at Phinda, Don was a trainee guide and she worked at reception. Abi spotted him outside of the ranger’s room, and thought to herself, “Who on earth is this kid”? ! Both parties spent plenty of time together, learning about the grasses and the trees. They helped each other out. Their connection to the wild and each other grew. She said it wasn’t the most glamorous start to a relationship, but Don did something right – today they’re happily married with a beautiful son.

And their first date? Well, it’s not for everyone ! Their first date involved stripping and hacking up an impala carcass. their second date was a bit more romantic. Date number two involved taking the game viewer out to a local dam, where they ate pizza and watched elephants swimming. This was in 2007 and 2008 they formally started dating.

Ezulwini Game Lodges

Craig manages River Lodge with the support of his loving wife, Angele. So just how did these two meet? Interestingly enough, Facebook was responsible for this couple’s story. They meet through the “people you know” section and turns out that they had a similar circle of friends. They were like two ships passing in the night, until they eventually met up and the stars aligned.

Walkers Bush Villa

Charles and Shirell manage the exclusive Walkers Bush Villa in the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve. Both parties are super efficient and come with a world of guiding, managing and business experience.

Here’s their story :

Shirell says, “Charles and I met in Pietermaritzburg, KZN in 2008. Charles was already guiding and I was finishing up my business degree. I joined Charles in the bush shortly after, and 12 years later we are happily married and still loving life in the bush.”

The Week in Pictures : Predators and Pretty Things

For this week’s “Week in Pictures”, we’re sharing a few recent predator images of big cats. Lions seem to be the theme for this week, leaving the leopards to slink away in the background. We’re offering a showcase of exceptional images from our photographers, highlighting a few of the sightings from the week.

In an effort to give our field guides and budding photographers more exposure, we’ve decide to launch a “Field Guide Feature”. Each week guides are encouraged to send through images of their week in the wild. From the pool of images that’s collated for our Week in Pictures, we’ll select one camp and associated guide to feature. The “Field Guide Feature” will happen after the Week in Pictures and will be a series of stories shared on Instagram. The individual and camp will be announced in Week in Pictures, and his/her images will be splashed across the ol’ Insta. The first Field Guide Feature will launch on 21 Feb.

Umkumbe Safari Lodge

A highlight of the week for Umkumbe Safari Lodge was the sighting of the Mhangeni lionesses and ever powerful Othawa male lion. Jade captured an incredible image of the Mhangeni lions resting among the marula fruits and a beautiful side profile of a king, the Othawa male. There’s never a dull moment in the Sabi Sand !

Ezulwini Game Lodges

The elephant herds are loving the watery traverse around River Lodge. They seem to be in abundance at the moment, which would make sense given that summer is in full swing; which means there’s plenty of water around. Thunderstorms are expected in the next week, which means we’ll see an influx of water-loving giants to the area. The Kudyela Pride of lions continue to provide us with consistent sightings, ensuring that the Ezulwini team enjoys reliable lion sightings.

Angele says, “The Kudyela Pride of lions is growing in numbers and as such, there is a constant demand for a steady food supply. In the last month, we’ve witnessed different members of the pride feasting on adult & young giraffe as well kudu cows. More recently, the pride has been spotted in fragmented groupings. Only time will tell if this becomes a permanent split.”

Africa on Foot and nThambo Tree Camp

We’ve just played catch-up with guide JC, who alerted us to the fact that team Klaserie have just enjoyed an African wild dog sighting. JC says that it’s the largest pack he’s ever seen in 2 years of guiding at Africa on Foot. The pack strutted across the heated landscape and headed straight for a cooling off session at the waterhole. In other predator news, the Vuyela lions were seen patrolling their territory, and an unknown leopard was spotted huddling a branch in the lofty treetops. The stream of unique sightings continues, and the elephants herds are just as present as they were last week.

#10GoodDeeds : Deed No.1 is the “Match of the Klaserie”

Today Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal battle it out on the courts of Cape Town in aid of charity (The Federer Foundation). The tickets for the match were sold out in 10 minutes (same amount of time it took McEnroe to lose his temper on court). We used the 10-minute-ticket-sell-out time as inspiration for our 10 good deeds for 2020. In sticking with the number 10, our aim for 2020 is to give back to our community in 10 different ways. For each charitable deed, we will do something fun to raise awareness about our chosen cause. Deed no.1 is the “Match of the Klaserie”, created in jest to mimic the highly acclaimed “Match in Africa” fundraiser. Instead of supporting the Federer Foundation in education, we chose to support local education initiatives in our community. We sponsor a young child’s school and education, and invite you to do the same. Like Federer, we believe education is key to a good future. You’ve no hope of being like Federer on the court, so why not be like him off the court? We’d love for you to get involved (As involved as Andy Murray’s mom during match play), so we’ll leave the ball in your court !

The Federer vs Nadal match is the talk of the town and is certainly the most anticipated match of the year. Not unlike the Klaserie match. The Rolex sponsored Federer Nadal match is called the “Match of Africa” and is the 6th match of its kind, but the first one to be held in Cape Town. The veldskoen sponsored Africa on Foot vs nThambo match was ALSO the first of its kind. And probably the last, given the evident lack of skill ! Federer and Nadal will continue their tennis careers, but the Klaserie team were encouraged to retire and continue their guiding careers.

All jokes aside, the bushveld tennis set-up proved to be a remarkable amount of fun. Our team donned the correct classic tennis attire – a dress code worthy of a conservative Wimbledon nod of approval. Oh I do say. Postcards were designed and printed with the reasoning behind the tennis match, and mini bushveld tennis scene was stylised at the mini Bush Bar. Champagne flowed like summer rains in the lowveld, and lashings of strawberries with cream were a gentle reminder of the snazzy pomp and ceremony lifestyle at Centre Court. Cucumber sandwiches, pinwheels and a fruity gin jelly adorned the table, just waiting to be devoured.

After wolfing down the snacks and engaging in a bit of merriment, a few friendly games of tennis were smashed. There were no winners, because we are all winners…Also, no egos were harmed during the “Match of the Klaserie”.

The tennis match was so much fun that we’ve decided to make it a weekend of tennis and charity. The Klaserie Camps are hosting a famous Bush Bar session, and each guest will receive one of our printed postcards detailing our #10GoodDeeds. The Bush Bar session is the after party for the Match of the Klaserie, and an opportunity for guests to revel in Federer’s win and learn more about our deeds.

For over 16 years the Roger Federer Foundation has been involved in charitable programs in Africa and Switzerland that aim to give children a good start in education. Over 1.5 million children have benefitted from the interventions ! The foundation only works with carefully selected local organisations in long‐term partnerships and seeks to bring about systemic change and have a sustainable impact. From our side, we have – over the years – supported a child during her school years and will continue to do so.

We would love others to come forward and support a child during their schooling years, a child that would benefit greatly from a proper education. Roger played a match for his foundation, so we mimicked him and played a match for our cause. Prior to the kick-off for the match, Trevor Noah and Bill Gates will have a celebrity match of their own. Our Klaserie match involved zero celebrities, but we did have a few elephants visit us !

We’d love for you to follow our 10 good deeds for the year and contribute to the charities associated with each deed, which we think are pretty ace ! Want to sponsor a child through their schooling career? Then please contact cecilia@sundestinations.co.za.

The Week in Pictures : Forget Summer in St Barts, Try a Summer in Kruger

A relaxing vacation in St Barts seems like a lovely idea during the summer months. But you know where else is equally as relaxing? The Kruger ! Don’t underestimate the daring delights that the summer season in the bushveld brings. Although not considered peak safari season, sightings of big game and predators certainly haven’t dwindled in this balmy weather. The vegetation bursts with green energy and the sky shifts gracefully from bright blues to textured grey horizons with rain clouds. There’s abundant water because of the rains, which means buffalo and elephant herds fill the dams with their presence. While St Barts has the beach for refreshing swim sessions, our lodges have swimming pools…And there’s nothing better than sitting around the splash pool while observing summer migrant birds flutter past.

Here is a brief update from the week, coupled with a few images from camp…and a few of our favourites from the week !

Africa on Foot and nThambo Tree Camp

Reports from guide JC have come flooding in, and it appears that our herbivorous giants are taking advantage of the surrounding greenery. The water-loving pachyderms, bovids and plains game are – literally – littering the reserve ! With such a marked increase in the presence of these characters, means that the big cats are always around. JC has sent through some exceptional video clips of the summer landscapes dotted with elephants, buffalo and zebra. At one stage, the wild dogs made a grand entrance, enthralling their onlookers with their antics. While photographer Em Gatland was at camp, she spotted the Vuyela coalition while she was out on drive. The lions weren’t doing anything exciting, apart from making sure that everyone was aware of their presence.

Ezulwini Game Lodges

After receiving numerous photos from Angele’s safari collection, we approached her for the weekly update from the lodge. Ezulwini is never short of sightings, so we have plenty of fresh updates from camp.

The leopardess Faka Nchovela was seen on a steenbok kill together with her cub.
African wild dogs were spotted on an impala kill.
There have been a ton of elephant herd sightings.
Sable sightings were prominent.
Pods of hippo in the dams in front of River Lodge.
Sightings of the Machaton male lions. 1 Machaton is often seen alone, and the other 2 together.
The Kudyela Pride of lions was seen – they are now a pride of 30, which means plenty off split off groups. The young male cubs are now sub-adult males, so they will leave soon enough. The pride is still successfully hunting giraffe.

Chacma Bush Camp

This charming hideaway in the Maseke Balule Nature Reserve is famed for its superb views of wildlife while at camp. Brit (camp manager) said that the Maseke males and their pride were seen during the week. Then the team tracked and found a leopard patrolling and marking its territory !

Umkumbe Safari Lodge

Umkumbe Safari Lodge was gifted with a fantastic sighting of Ntsumi the leopard this week. We haven’t had a chance to catch up the guides, but we do know that there have been plenty of lion sightings over the past week or so. We decided to share a few images of Shaun’s from 2 weeks ago, because we haven’t actually got to sharing the below pics.

Walkers Bush Villa

From elephants to buffalo and lions, Walkers is certainly revelling in its location in the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve. Recent guests enjoyed a five star dining experience at the villa, after the Timbavati treated them to plenty of predator sightings.

We Replaced Normal Crackers with Eco-Friendly Christmas Crackers

During the course of last year we realised that the much-loved tradition of snapping and cracking Christmas crackers is not particularly environmentally friendly. It’s always been at the back of our minds, but it came to the fore when research indicated that there is a 30% increase in waste over the Christmas period. The last thing we wanted to do was to contribute to clogging our already bursting-at-the-seams landfills. We needed to find a way of still cracking a couple of crackers without having to purchase boxes of mass produced Chinese toy crackers; so we handcrafted a few bushveld eco-crackers which proved to be very popular ! Both Africa on Foot and nThambo Tree Camp are eco-friendly camps in Kruger, so it makes sense that we’d go the eco route.

When I say “we” made the crackers, I mean Gemma Thomas. She is our on the ground correspondent who eagerly leapt at Carolynne’s idea of eco-crackers (poor Gem) for the Klaserie Christmas shoot. From there, genius Gem built on the idea and spent nights crafting crackers for a few of the Africa on Foot and nThambo Tree Camp staff. Crackers were made from recycled paper, toilet rolls and a bit of twine and leaves. Inside, the team were gifted with traditional bottles of mini-Amarula, homemade soaps and an encouraging saying relating to Africa. Unique, thoughtful and inspiring – far better than those silly jokes, plastic rings and useless tweezers that can’t even remove a plank form your leg, never mind splinter.

Christmas crackers contain microplastic glitter, cheap toys shipped over from China specifically for the festive period, and come in a box with a plastic window. Plenty of plastic in just one box of crackers !

If you’re mindful and creative, and favour traditions; then we encourage you to make your own eco-friendly Christmas Crackers for 2020! The eco-crackers have certainly encouraged a bit of creativity when it comes to finding eco-friendly alternatives to..well…just about anything. It was reported that 2020 is going to be the year of sustainability, charity, conservation and community – more so than ever before. In 2020 Sun Destinations have decided to become EVEN more involved in wildlife and charity initiatives.

The eco-crackers was a mere pebble drop in the water that has caused a ripple effect. Director Cecilia Blunden made a decision that our company would conduct 10 good deeds (#10GoodDeeds) for the year, with each deed having some kind of event or fun activity to highlight the cause. In due course, you will find out what these deeds are, together with their corresponding charity.

It’s going to be anything from taking local kids on game drives, to visiting schools and just generally creating awareness. Each deed you’ll find out how to contribute to that particular charity. Our first good deed kicks off on the 7 Feb…We cannot wait to launch the visuals from our talented and quirky media team.

2020 is the year of sustainability, community and kindness – more so than previous years. We’re involved, are you? In the coming months, search for #10GoodDeeds online and see how you can help.

21 Lions and Cubs. The Kambula Pride Seen at Umkumbe.

The Kambula Pride of lions have quite a tattered ancestry fraught with warfare and complex dynamics, one that we’re not going to drill down into at length in this blog. But we are going to give you a little bit of background information about this popular lion pride in the Sabi Sand. Complexity is a word commonly bounced around when talking about pride dynamics. When a pride has such a strong history with big numbers, so intertwined in a reserve, we don’t expect smooth sailing in terms of dynamics. Understanding the origins of splintered prides, small groups, breakaways, and coalitions is all part of the fun!

So, let’s get down to business. There are 6 females that make up the Kambula Pride and their parents are none other than the marauding Majingilane males and the well-known Mhangeni/Tsalala Breakaways. With mega-prides there are often breakaway groups, lone rangers and splinter prides. The Kambula’s history is far more deep than is necessary for the sake of this blog, but we thought we’d at least give you a bit of background info before delving straight into Umkumbe’s most recent lion pride sighting.

Now that you’re armed with information about the Kambula’s bloodline, let’s take a peek into the current pride numbers of the Kambulas. There are 6 adults in the Kambula pride and they’ve given birth to two litters of cubs, which has boosted their numbers. We understand that there are over 20 lions in the mega-pride, but Umkumbe guide Shaun counted 21 during this latest sighting of the Kambulas on a kill. So, let’s break down these numbers.

The 5 of the 6 females gave birth to two litters of cubs, the first batch of 11 cubs were born roughly 2 years ago. These killing machines are happy, healthy and thriving in their territory. Despite the high mortality rate in the wild, it’s clear that the genetics of these cubs carry a survival gene inherited from a powerful dynasty of lions! Recently, the Kambulas gave birth to yet another litter of cubs who are currently a few months old. And just who sired this kingdom of cubs? None other than the ever famous Birmingham/Gowrie boys!

So let’s get back to the reason for this blog, which is mainly designed to share Shaun Atkinson’s images and updates of a recent sighting while out on drive at Umkumbe Safari Lodge.

Shaun says, “At the start of game drive, I drove into the clearing and then heard the blue wildebeest alarm calling, so decided to drive a bit further. We then saw 21 lions lying together ! There was 1 Birmingham male, and 6 with their previous litter of cubs with the new cubs. There appeared to be pieces of a wildebeest lying around, evidence of a recent kill that probably happened in the early hours of the morning. There was only the legs and head left. The lions eventually moved off in search of water, so we followed them to the waterhole and took a few photos. This was a really cool sighting !

Yet another fantastic sighting for Umkumbe Safari Lodge !

The Week in Pictures 2020 : The Top Wildlife Images of 2019

Trawling through a year’s worth of our photographer’s top notch Kruger images was a fairly arduous task, but one that was worth doing. Our photog’s images deserve recognition, so we’ve done our best to select the cream-of-the-crop images from 2019. There were hundreds of images showcasing the beauty of the Greater Kruger, but we narrowed it down to a maximum 10 from each of our contributing camps. A real pick-and-mix of photos, some that you’ve seen before and others that have remained in the archives. A huge thanks to our guides and photographers for their contributions over the years – you guys are the champions of the wild.

Keep checking the Facebook pages for wildlife videos and safari updates; and do check-in on a Friday for our recap of the week combined with images taken during the week.

Roam is the Right Choice for a Valentine’s Day Holiday

Valentine’s Day is approaching, which means it’s time to start planning a soul-stirring adventure intertwined with a few grand gestures. The Roman calendar informs us that 14th February is the day of outward displays of love and declarations. Our very own ROAMan calendar dictates that the whole of February is the month of love, making it an ideal time for a Valentine’s Day holiday! Currently, we have availability on the 14th February, which is a weekend. Perfect for a road trip from Cape Town, don’t you think?

Abi and her team are quite prepared to pull out all the stops for a bit of romance. When you’re not tracking cheetah, enjoying game drives and taking part in other memorable experiences, you can most certainly make time for a spot of romance. Bush dinners, champagne at sunset, private dinners around the poolside – you name it, Roam can plan it. Imagine sipping champagne at sunset while the sun pours its liquid gold onto the landscape, and imagine waking up to the overtures from the birdlife of the area. A symphony of song echoing the happiness in your heart.

Two of our visual media (Gem and Rogan) team are currently on assignment in Roam Private Game Reserve. Not only have they experienced they typical nature drives that Roam offers, but they were also lucky enough to enjoy a bush dinner under the stars, a gin tasting in the midst of untamed Karoo landscape, and a few special sundowners. It goes without saying that lead guide – and wonderful storyteller – Don, introduced Gem and Rogan to the cheetah. Gem and Rogan are a couple (they even have a couple name – Rogem) and have both agreed that Roam is the quintessential place for a romantic getaway. Plenty of couple time and downtime at the pool during summer, and ample wine around the fireplace in winter makes Roam a fine choice for romance throughout the year. If you’re lucky, Abi might even make a special pot of Gluhwein for those icy winter months. Let’s face it, romantic Roam is a year round loved-up destination.

Prior to Rogem’s trip, photographer Teagan spent time in the Karoo. She happened to be at the lodge while a honeymoon couple were staying there, proving – yet again – that Roam is just oozing with all the feels. Teagan photographed a few gin and tonic sessions in the Karoo, and captured an endearing moment between Abi and Don, the lodge managers.

Come see for yourself. Plenty of scope for romance – Roam Safari Lodge is more than just a wilderness and conservation experience – it’s a luxurious oasis in the middle of a semi-desert.

Timbavati Lions : Take a Walk(ers) on the Wild Side

The rapacious lions strut their way through the bushveld, owning the night and dominating the day. Lions are the guardians of the darkness, a mysterious time of the day when these regal cats perform the most gruesome and graphic of activities. Take downs of quarry are never guaranteed, but hunting under the blanket of darkness certainly makes it easier for lions. The dark is perfect for the lion’s eyesight which performs well under low-light conditions. It’s much easier to approach prey when its dark. Lions are opportunistic and most certainly won’t forego a diurnal opportunity to flush out prey of the air is cool and conditions are right. However, the deadly darkness is when the pride orientated social cats conduct their perfect strategic epic take downs of prey. Identify, stalk, surround and ambush. The key actions of a hungry lion pride !

While the lions are active at night, we lie safely tucked up in 5 star luxury. Don’t be surprised if you hear contact calling from coalitions and prides (sound carries further at night because of sound wave refraction); and the bellowing of prey being pounced upon. Witnessing the extravagant and brutal showdown of a lion pride kill form beginning to end is quite rare, given that they mostly take place during nocturnal hours.

Morning game drives are designed to head out at first light, to catch lions in the midst of a feeding frenzy from the night before’s kill. These seemingly lazy carnivores sit with their stomachs enlarged, and diaphragms squeezing tight while laboured breathing can be heard – side effects of a stomach expanding from gorging on a kill! In short, lions are ruthless, powerful nocturnal beasts with complex pride dynamics. And the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve is one of the premier places to witness this lion behaviour unfold.

When experienced guide – Charles Delport – from Walkers Bush Villa hears the sounds of lions at night, and the unmistakable scuffle of a hunt; he often wakes his guests to find out the source of the commotion. these night drives are outside of standard game drive hours, but Charles likes to ensure that guests are afforded every opportunity to see once-in-a-lifetime sightings of lions attempting to grab their next meal.

The local lion pride on the Walkers Bush Villa traverse is the Giraffe Pride, a pride that is no stranger to the textbook behaviour of most lions. The River Pride often crosses over onto the Walkers traverse but the dominant pride is definitely the River Pride. The King of the area is none other than the handsome Black Dam male. Charles and Shirell mentioned that the Black Dam male is constantly patrolling his territory, which is quite wide. He isn’t seen as often as Giraffe Pride, a pride that has been spotted on almost every drive in recent months ! The Giraffe Pride comprises 12 individuals, with 4 adult lionesses and 7 sub-adults which are almost always seen together.

The below pictures (courtesy of Charles) are of a lone female from the Giraffe Pride. She was seen with the wildebeest kill that she took down a few days ago, which was probably killed during the dead of night. After she shovelled up the remnants of her meal, she left the remains for the clean-up crew (hyenas and vultures) and returned to her natal pride. In these pics you’ll see her crimson stained face, and her slow amble back to the pride.

Sometimes a take down involves the whole pride and other times lone lions will strike if the moment is right. Whatever their modus operandi, we are just privileged to witness the ultimate prowess of these lions.

#GuestSafariReview : Jonas Loved Africa on Foot Wilderness Trails

When we were trawling through our guest images on Instagram we stumbled across Jonas Koeln’s images of his time at Africa on Foot Wilderness Trails. These images gave us a real life window into what the trails are all about. Gemma reached out to Jonas and asked for a synopsis of their time on trails, and he was more than happy to engage with us. Be like Jonas and come join us on Africa on Foot Wilderness trails – an immersive and wild experience; hosted and guided by professionals.

Here is our #GuestSafariReview, fresh from the Insta archives :

Hi Gem! Of course you can use my pictures! We loved the Safari!

My favorite was an elefant sighting we had while walking. One came as close a as 5 meters because he was curious. Just fantastic to be so in touch with nature! I’ve been exploring Africa more over the past year and find a fascinating continent that is so versatile. We spend three weeks in South Africa on the last trip, starting of with Africa On Foot and then driving the Garden Route and enjoying Cape Town.

Have a wonderful day, Jonas.
