Blue Skies

Sat, 11 Jan 2014 | By davidt | Views [220] | Comments [1]

Today was a day I have been looking forward to and dreading in equal measure. I was incredibly excited but also had that sick nervous feeling in my stomach. I was booked to arrive at the Pretoria Skydiving Club at Wonderboom Airport for 2:30. I drove ... Read more >

The calm before…

Fri, 10 Jan 2014 | By davidt | Views [163] | Comments [1]

The few days after getting back from Kwafubesi proved to be relatively quiet. I had a couple of days lounging around the house and sorting out washing etc and spent Thursday and Friday mainly shopping and cooking, although I did manage to visit a barbour ... Read more >

Capturing a Zulu Legacy

Thu, 9 Jan 2014 | By travellerkate | Views [1661]

It is true when they say South Africa has something for everyone. Possibly the most interesting itinerary I have ever embarked on in the rainbow nation was that of the Zulu Legacy. While the country is rich in culture and history, I was intrigued to ... Read more >

Saving the best till last

Sun, 5 Jan 2014 | By davidt | Views [155]

The last morning of our stay was another 6AM start to the game drive. When the alarm sounded at 5 I was surprisingly active and was showered and ready in no time flat. Deb decided that she was going to have a lie in rather than another drive so I headed ... Read more >

The early bird…

Sat, 4 Jan 2014 | By davidt | Views [161]

The following morning began with the alarm going off at 5AM, just as it is starting to get light. The drive was due to start a 6 so after a quick shower it was down to the main area for coffee and rusks to await the start. Once all were assembled we ... Read more >

Whichever way you cut it game drives are addictive, for me anyway. I got back yesterday from a weekend at Kwafubesi Tented Camp in the Mabula Private Game Park and already I’m missing it. It’s a very different experience from the one I had ... Read more >

Another year, another game drive!

Thu, 2 Jan 2014 | By davidt | Views [288]

The only plan we had for New Years Day was lunch at Steve and Cathy’s, friends of Deb’s who I’d met when I first arrived here way back in November. There were about 10 of us there in total and a very relaxed (and fabulous lunch) turned ... Read more >

What day is it again?

Tue, 31 Dec 2013 | By davidt | Views [484] | Comments [1]

The final morning of our trip was glorious. The weather had turned overnight and cloudy with showers was replaced with SUN! Having had a reasonably boozy evening in the hotel bar with some locals we met there, I think being up and running by 8:30 was ... Read more >

Another day, another battlefield.

Mon, 30 Dec 2013 | By davidt | Views [200]

Our original plan for today was to head for Vryheid and visit the battlefields at Hlobane and Khambula where one of Deb’s relatives was actively involved. However we finally decided, after consulting with Foy, that we would be better served by ... Read more >
