Our visits to Africa have been the most interesting
trips we have been on.
Botswana provided us with sandy tracks,
part of the Kalahari Desert,
through…
…to flooded creek beds
of the Okavango Delta.
Our twice daily game drives at
Sausage Tree Safari Camp
which is part of
Greater Kruger National Park…
…also provided countless
never seen before tracks…
…and dry creek bed crossings to negotiate.

We whiled away our final afternoon at
Sausage Tree Safari Camp…
…being entertained by a young
African dance troupe.
Whilst in New Zealand’s Rotorua, we decided
to pay a visit to the
Whakarewarewa Maori Village
Prior to leaving the village we were enertained by
Village Dancers.
This couple were dancing their hearts out
in Zimbabwe’s
Victoria Falls Village
Something a little more sedate was discovered in
Germany’s Rhine Valley Region…
…at the Black Forest
Cuckoo Clock Factory.
Finally, a fire dancer, and a…
…Belly Dancer provided after dinner entertainment
at the Dubai, Desert Safari.

This was our first lion sighting in 2013.
Our guide felt certain that the imapalas grazing
to the left of these shots were blisfully unaware
that the lions were close by.
We spent around half an hour waiting
to see if the pride would ambush the impala
as they wandered into the clearing.
