I’m on a Safari, or as they say down here, in the bush. Now I’m feeling some real heat, it has been some 30 plus today.

I will start off where I left. I arrived in Johannesburg and was picked up by Richard. He brought me to Dani’s home where a couple of other guys already was having the barii, a SA BBQ.

I must say it’s a strange feeling seeing the homes. They have to have extra security everywhere and some even have electrified fences. Anyway, I had a wonderful time drinking wine and eating great food. I showed them some pics from North Cape and I think they enjoyed it.

The next morning was a early one; up at quarter to four. Dani was kind taking me to the pic up place down in Joburg. There I met the guys with whom I will do the tour through Kruger, Botswana and eventually Vic Falls. All together 7 people plus 2 guides. I’m the oldest one, but that didn’t surprise me.

It took quite some time to get to the place where we were spending the night. Just outside Kruger Park we stayed at a rebuilt tribe village. I spent the night in a hut with floor made out of Termite Saliva and Cow-shit! But it was really nice and clean. I slept like a baby. Even  though it was very warm.

Before we went to sleep we where shown some traditional dance and a man, Jamaica, told us about their traditions. It was a bit odd, because we where the only one there.

Today it has been another very hot day. We spent the whole day driving through Kruger park looking for animals. The peak was seeing some Cheetah 10 m from the road. Other highlights where the baby elephant and the giraffes.

It is amazing seeing all this animals in their natural environment. We have one disadvantage, the park is very green making it hard to spot the animals. On the other hand the park is almost empty of tourists making it easy to move around.

As always, I cant say when I can go online the next time. I will spent one morr day in Kruger, then I’m off to Botswana.
