Days 12, 13 and 14 (Rhia’s comments are italicized) For all those that wanted a food expose in this blog, sorry to disappoint so far. We only ate out once, and the rest of the time we cooked for ourselves with the wonderful accommodations at the Elephant House. As everyone who’s spent five minutes with me

Days 9, 10 and 11 (Dan’s comments are italicized) When we were staying with our friends Marie and Peter upon arriving in Johannesburg, they had commented that there was much more to see in game parks than the big animals, and that the little creatures were often overlooked. This comment played an important part in

Days 7 and 8 (Rhia’s comments are italicized) After two days of only finding only bachelor elephants, we decided that our primary objective was to locate the herd(s). And wouldn’t you know it, our first find was … a bachelor elephant 🙄. But he led us straight to some friends 😄 So the search continued.

Days 5 and 6 (Dan’s comments are italicized) I can’t believe we’re back in Pilanesberg; and what a difference some rain makes! Last year marked the third year of drought so the grass was low and animals could always be found near the limited water spots. This year, the place is verdant and the grass

Days 1 thru 4 (Rhia’s comments are italicized) First and foremost, the journey this year was much easier than last year’s. Instead of driving to Phoenix airport, we took off from Tucson. Instead of a 11 hour flight to London, we flew 3 hours to Atlanta. Then, we just had a 3 hour layover versus

Days 104 thru 107 (Rhia’s comments are italicized) The journey back into Johannesburg aka. Joburg aka. Jossie, was quite uneventful.

Days 100 thru 103 (Dan’s comments are italicized) As our (what feels like) mini vacation hurdles toward its close, there seem to be many quiet, personal goodbyes we have to make. For me, one of the hardest is saying goodbye to these fantastic African animals. But, at this point, we still had two days left

Days 97 thru 99 (Rhia’s comments are italicized) Our long trip from Cape Town has finally ended, and we have arrived our home (for five nights), just across the street from Pilanesberg National Park! Early the next morning we purchased our 4 day pass into the park for only 1120 ZAR. That is about $60.

Days 94 thru 96 (Dan’s comments are italicized) ‘The time has come,’ the Walrus said, ‘To talk of many things: Of shoes — and ships — and sealing-wax — Of cabbages — and kings — I have had no idea why these lines from the nonsense poem, The Walrus and The Carpenter (Lewis Carroll), have

Days 91 thru 93 (Rhia’s comments are italicized) After the storm blew through, the surf got a bit rough. We walked along the coast and just watched the waves crashing ashore. It was really quite magical, but also a bit cold. Being that it was a weekend, there were a lot of people who were
