I’m uploading this from Rhino River Lodge near Mkuze in KwaZulu Natal. It’s taking ages (there’s no 3G out here in the bush) but, here’s the thing: Just a few years ago this would not have been possible. The wonders of technology. I just love it!!!

Wow, what fun we had. Pat and I left Hluhluwe iMfolozi Park where we’d been trying to photograph wild dogs with little success and headed for Bonamanzi, a smallish private nature reserve just outside Hluhluwe [...]

Victoria Falls - Travel Trade Update

Zimbabwe is having an election re-run on 27th June 2008. As with the March election, this is not expected to impact on the tourist destination of Victoria Falls.

    Online presence is vital today. And fun! I truly enjoy spending time online with all you fellow travelers, bloggers and readers. It's addictive though. Sometimes I look at the time and it's way past bedtime...it's normally closer to wake up time. ;-) But it's so much fun that it's easy to get carried away! Read the whole blog post
