Jane’s parents Jo and Hugh took us for a game drive through the Karongwe Game Reserve. We saw lions, zebra, buffalo, rhinoceros, wildebeest, and lots of other strange-looking animals.
The lions were particularly spectacular. It was hard to photograph them, because we were instructed not to stand up in the game car, since that would be interpreted as a threat.
The main thing this gallery is missing is an audio recording of Jane’s niece Sophia and her continuing narrative about what candies would be available in her ‘paradise.’ She’s going to freak when she reads Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
On my third day in South Africa, Jane, Lu and I explored the Blyde River Canyon Nature Reserve. These photos are what it feels like to be in that part of South Africa. Red earth, green vegetation, lots of baboons.
