Oct 18-22 Kruger trip - Advertising blurb told me-

" On this Safari we spend the first 2 nights at the 4 star Phumulani Lodge situated at the Numbi Gate of the Kruger Park. The lodge consists of 17 en-suite, luxury, thatched bungalows with private verandas. The main lodge building and pool deck have great views of the valley below and comprise a reception area, a bar and a fabulous restaurant overlooking the bush. Meals are of an international standard and is primarily buffet-style, often having an African theme. On the last night we stay at ...

... women and helping them practice at whatever level they are at is something I can do to help. The most widely spoken language here is Shangaan/Tsonga, so my Zulu is not doing much good. The languages are similar, and some words are the same, but mostly I have just gotten down the greeting which you do about 50 times a day. Avuxeni (hello) Ku njhani? (How are you?) Ndzi kona (I am fine)- I had no idea that is how you spelled those until I just ...

... and a refreshment stand. The walk to the actual site starts at the parking lot but turns to well worn rock surface. Not well marked people drift all over. There are some steel walks and bridges and cement steps. Actually walking aimlessly allows you to explore all areas. The primary name sake though, is the potholes. Water, over millennia, has worn circular patterns in the surface. We could not have done a better job. The shapes and color varied ...

Dag 5 // Safari in Krugerpark

... die we vervolgens te zien kregen, zaten telkens goed verscholen achter bomen of bevonden zich ver van ons af. En aangezien we niet uit de jeep mochten komen... Na een tussenstop in Pretoriuskop (het kamp waar we ook deze nacht blijven) om te ontbijten, pakken we ons bij elkaar en vertrekken we voor 1 lange safari tot half 7 's avonds. Neushoorns, giraffen, kudu's, impala's, warthogs ...

Chicken Feet

... people were always kind when they meet me, they just find it peculiar because they assume I am an Afrikaaner, it always makes more sense to them when it comes out am traveling from the U.S. And while I am not a fan on the culture we have been exporting into South Africa, everyone here is a fan of it, which is nice. It would pour off and on all day. The climax of the night was when the big band came on, and I went up to the front with Binki and Susan. It ...

Helping - cont'd and drive to Sabie Park

... the bushland, only that there are low grey trees and dry browny yellow soil and that the verandah is long, low, with the thatched roof held up by the trunks of trees. There was some concern that some of the keys were lost; however, that all got sorted out fine and we got in, opened all the doors and windows (keeping the screens closed) and did some basic tidying up. We (mostly the boys) got unpacked in double quick time. My cousin and I ...

Town trip and combustion chamber

... emptied and the cleaned-out stomachs per se hanging up and dry to the touch, yellowish-white and of rubbery texture. And another night in our little combustion chamber... Mitch found out last night that we very nearly blew ourselves up over the past five evenings or so, placing an oil lamp near petrol canisters (the fumes alone catch on fire apparently). Hmm. Lucky, I guess. And finally clean, dry and good-smelling laundry!

Small town of Hazyview

Hello again everyone. We had a nice drive from Pretoria to a much more scenic part of the Mpumalanga province. The small town of Hazyview was where we were headed. The 100km area surrounding the town is where over half of South Africa's bananas are grown. It also has a large amount of farms for avacados, mangoes and macadamia nuts. It was a much cooler temperature when we ...
