blog design in progress.....


What a journey it has been. I have seen a lot, experienced more, and continue in the search for the ultimate: to be able to perceive and understand what is around us in Nature, to learn from the calmness and revitalisation one feels when in a beautiful place; or watch something that drives your soul, such as a bird. The continual ebb and flow of nature reveals no prejudice. I think we all need to observe a bird, to get some humility into humanity.

We are back in lovely Hermanus - fat and happy after an over indulgent holiday. It is great to see all our special friends again.

Here is Steve and EB in Bots on a previous trip

Now - preparations for the Botswana adventure are fully underway. Steve Adams, Justin Rous and myself with a local Motswana (a person from Botswana) guide EB - are heading out onto the Okavango swamps in mekoros. We are planning on crossing the swamps just south of the orange marker along the straight line in the picture below through the swamps until Maun - sleeping on islands as we go, and hopefully supplementing our ratpacks with eating fresh fish!

 ..and hopefully our mekoro's are not going to look like a rapala for some grumpy bull hippo!
