Chobe National Park, Botswana

One day was a trip up the Chobe River in Botswana for animal viewing followed by a game drive through Chobe National Park.

Sindabezi Island, Zambia

After leaving Cape Town, we mad our way to Sindabezi Island on the Zambezi river between Zimbabwe and Zambia. We spent the evenings in our wall-less huts over-hanging the water of the mighty river where we were serenated by hippos. We had the island to ourselves with a fantastic staff to cook, serve cocktails and ferry us the 5 km back to the main land in the morning. And there was no electricity...

Back to Civilization

Sorry for the delay. When you don't have electricity, you definitely don't have internet.

Leaving Cape Town

Tomorrow we head to Victoria Falls. We will be staying on an island on the Zambezi River between Zambia and Zimbabwe. No electricity. Stay tuned...

Winery

A day of wine tasting in the South African Wine Country started at Ernie Ells Winery.

Cape of Good Hope

Where the Indian Ocean meets the Atlantic Ocean.

Pesky Baboons

Baboons are considered a nuisance. These people left their door unlocked and will be VERY disappointed when they get home to find a troop has invaded!!

Penguins

A visit to an African Penguin colony.

Table Mountain

Our first adventure was up the gondola to Table Mountain. The view is from above Cape Town. The doughnut is the soccer stadium built for the World Cup.

After 38 hours of travel, we arrived in Cape Town, South Afrrica!!
