Summing Up - South Africa

Originally we had planned to take the train from Johannesburg (Pretoria actually) to Cape Town, but when the economic slow down meant only one train a week, our journey was cancelled.  I was very disappointed, but we looked around our Drifiters manual and found another safari that we could fit in our dates farely well. 

This first safari was 18 days in South Africa only, and it was a lodge safari so that means some sort of real bed.  In the end it wasn't just the bed or meals or other 'luxuries', it was about the country and it was great to get a chance to learn more about it by seeing more about it.  It is a country of great diversity and wide open spaces, ane here is a little photo collection of the South Africa that I experienced.
