I just returned from a three week tour of South Africa and neighbouring countries and while I recover from the jet lag, I thought I’d let some photos tell the tale.

Fabulous photos! Makes me want to go, especially the wildlife.
It was amazing. I’ve never seen so much wildlife. Elephants, giraffes, baboons, zebras, lions, water buffalo, wart hogs, turtles, dolphins, lizards, hippos, crocs, antelope and more. It’s a paradise for bird watchers. 🙂
