AFRICA SAFARI’S AND MORE 2024

I finally fulfilled a lifetime dream of experiencing a safari in Africa… and I ended up getting way more than I could ever image.

After 2 months in Johannesburg area writing, I found my financial budget already depleted.
​
Luckily, the 10 days safari adventure in the Eastern Cape of South Africa, the 3 days in Cape town, and 3 days at Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe and Zambia, were already paid for.

What wasn’t part of the budget, and is a drive away from Johannesburg, is Kruger National Park, the largest safari national park in South Africa.

I have no idea if I will ever make it back to South Africa, and thought how I would always regret I didn't get to go there.

Well, as life likes to hand out miraculous blessings here and there, I met a kindred soul, who offered to join me on a 4-day budget friendly trip to Kruger Park, staying at her family’s vacation home near the park entrance.

We drove 8 hours a day through the grand Kruger Park, seeing all sorts of marvelous animals, including 4 of the big 5 on the first day (cheetahs came on another safari). 

After our long day through the park, we cooked our food over the campfire and drank Gin & Tonic's. 

Meeting her, growing our friendship, and that 4-day wonderful adventure, is one that is etched into my heart, mind and soul.

As for all the rest of the trip… amazing beyond words. I am posting lots of pictures to give you an idea, and hopefully to inspire you to pursue all your wildest dreams.

THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU
