2016 Fall South Africa Photo Safari

This is the most amazing place I have ever been.

Photos are not necessarily in any kind of order, and some are likely repeated. Had some camera problems, but it’s OK.

All photos may be enlarged, just double click.

Here are a few photos from the Africa pre-safari part of our voyage so far. These  photos were taken primarily from the  window of our tour van. Only stops  have been at “comfort stop” locations.

There are watering holes in several locations at Sabi Sabi.  One minute you are relaxing, and the next grabbing your camera to get some photos.

Heading for a game drive. The animals allow us to see them in their habitat. We only get as close as they allow us to. 

p1050897                                                         The tracker sits on a seat elevated on left of hood. Vehicles are right hand drive. They are Toyota Land Cruisers with no top. They have the tracker, the guide and six passengers.

Here are Jim’s shots!

On our way home from the airport Jim asked me “would you go to Africa again?”  My response “In a heartbeat”.  So we will see. I don’t think either of us realized we would love it so much.

We would do it differently than we did this time. This was the first time we have ever turned the planning and booking over to a travel agency.  If there is a next time we will plan and book ourselves directly. That is how we like to travel.

Right now we have a cruise booked that takes us from Southampton UK to Cape Town SA in early 2019.  We will still need to plan the part after arriving in Cape Town. But that is part of the fun!
