My love of being in the outdoors of Africa was spurred on in 2004, when I had the chance to visit Kenya & Tanzania for the migration of wildebeests & zebras. I was awestruck and the love of Africa has never left me. As I expand and travel to other parts of Africa, I am blown away at what this continent has to offer travelers.
This year I was so glad to travel to South Africa and go from the very southern tip to the northern tip of SA and cover all the beauty in-between. My guide was Abram Knoetze, who runs Garden Route Safari Camp on the Garden Route. Geneva Desin, was my travel friend and tech person. I am not very good at technology and she is amazing. We were joined by Nannette who is Abram’s wife and host extrodinare!
Kruger National Park is a gem and it gets into your soul once you have had the opportunity to visit. It is the ultimate paradise and it encapsulates the essence of the African splendor and diverse wildlife & ecosystems.
When I sit in a vehicle and there is no other vehicle around as far as the eye can see, only the veld, the grass, the shrubs, trees and rocks, the vastness of the Kruger is overwhelming and yet I feel so small, but I am happy and content. After the game drives, sitting around talking about all the wonderful sightings and smelling the BBQ or food being cooked over an open flame with a cocktail in your hand is heaven to me.
Watching elephants is pure joy. Not only are they the largest existing land animal, but they are very family oriented. In the next few pictures we came upon this herd of elephants and one of the youngsters had a fantastic time in the sand, and we got to watch…
Safari, hospitality & luxury will all be part of KLSafaris if you choose to join me on an adventure. When traveling to Africa, I have covered the gamut. I have camped, stayed in 5 star accommodations, tents, stationary tents, mobile safari & lodges. All are wonderful for each individual, but after doing much research, I feel the best is stationary tents & safari lodges with the feel of the land. I like to hear the lions roaring at night or the leopards.
You don’t have to be a photographer to enjoy Africa, just experiencing the sounds, smells, stars and animals you will want to take pictures. My blog is obviously heavy with photography and every picture is available for purchase, just contact me.
Can’t wait for you to follow me into the Fever Tree Forest on my next blog.
Beautiful photos! Still looking for my Secretary Bird!
Amazing
