Africa, Here We Come

10/29/2016

 
Today several of us depart for trip to Africa.   Most of us will fly from home through Atlanta, then no-stop to Johannesburg.  That flight segment is scheduled to be 15 hr. 17 min. non-stop, the distance is 8,434 Miles.  We'll arrive weary but ready for an adventure.

We'll experience small lodges and tented camps, game-viewing drives and guided walks and local village visits.   We'll...
  • Experience Africa's spectacular big game and its colorful local cultures on this African safari.
  • Explore world-famous Chobe National Park to the lush Okavango Delta.
  • Observe elephants in Chobe National Park.
  • Enjoy a warm welcome when our group visits a village near Hwange National Park.
  • Feel the rumble of Victoria Falls.
  • Exchange stories with our travel companions around a fire under a star-filled African sky.
  • Wake to birdsong and begin another day on the safari of your dreams.​
Normally I post blogs every day or two while traveling so you friends and family can follow our travels with photos and stories.  This trip will be different.  Most of the time we will be in remote safari camps where the only communication is by satellite phone.  That means no cell phones, no internet and no blogs.   

So, here's the plan...  I've created a number of blogs in advance.  These are scheduled to post every 3-4 days and will let you know where we are.  They will also include photos I already have of our camps, some of the animals we'll see, etc.  When we're in Johannesburg and Victoria Falls I will post photos and stories of our travelers and our adventures.  

​Stay tuned...
