SAFARI DOWN MEMORY LANE

Strangely enough, although I rate several areas in South Africa amongst the top in the world, it was neither the many travels around the globe nor the criss crossing over our own country that really triggered our wander lust. It was our first taste of Africa beyond our borders with a two year stay in Zimbabwe (then Rhodesia) almost four decades ago that did the trick. It taught us that the only way to enjoy the treasures of Africa is to pack your bags and in whatever means of transport you decide on just explore it. For us, as a result of a mixture of African Politics and to a greater extent family, career challenges and finances, we only really started experiencing Africa particularly over the past two decades and it gathered momentum as life continued. These photo's are simply to enjoy the past again.
