Welcome all you readers.
Here we are on the day of departure,  all packed and ready for another big adventure around the world.

Wow, Mesmerising,  freedom, pure nature, unreal, overwhelming, so fortunate to have been a part of it. That is the only way we can sum up the list 2 days of our safari experience.  We went to Hluhluwe game reserve, the oldest park in Sth Africa.
