Welcome to my travels. On this site you'll find recent trips and some very old trips. You'll note that for some trips I wrote very detailed reports (at least in the beginning), for others, I didn't even take notes of where I was on what dates. Nevertheless, I've done my best to document, to the extent I can, all of my major trips.

Day 7

Hluhluwe, South Africa

Rhinos, hippos, monkeys and lots of birds and warthogs. A game walk in the afternoon.

Also, shopping -- I bought a huge beautiful basket and a few other things.

Day 6

Hluhluwe, South Africa

We settled into a regular pace, two game drives a day, lots of lazing around in between. A bit too relaxing for me.

Today's drives involved rhinos, giraffes, zebras, and monkeys.

Day 5

Richards Bay, South Africa

We flew from Capetown to, I believe, Durban, and were picked up and taken on a very long drive to our game reserve, Zulu Nyala. Not fancy, but very comfortable and homey.

Our guide for the week was Penn, a true Zulu native, and the only such guide at the reserve. We couldn't have been luckier.

Coming into the reserve, and on our first game drives, we caught sight of Nyala, warthogs, Zebras, giraffes and various antelope.

Day 3

Cape Town, South Africa

Today was a total tour day.

We started by walking around the shopping area in the Harbor at Cape Town, and took the cablecars to the Top of Table Mountain for a nice view of the city and Lion's Head.
