On an African Safari with Brian the Cutter

LesleyH Ideal Rock Total Posts: 506 Last Post: 12/23/2008 Member Since: 8/29/2000	After leaving the beautiful Natal region on the east coast of South Africa where we experienced the Zulu wedding, we went North to the Kruger National Park to take part in a 4 day Safari. The drive there was breathtaking as we drove towards the Eastern Transvaal. We entered the Game Park at the south end to set up camp at Berg-en-Dal, where we stayed in luxury rondavels (grass huts). Here is the road that lead up to the camp. LesleyH www.whiteflash.com Director of Sales at Whiteflash from 2000-2008

Everyone of the following pictures were taken by Brian - yes, we REALLY saw all these incredible animals....here goes.....the black car in front is Brian's brother's car and YES, the elephant just strolled across the road!!!

The designer had used black, white and fancy yellow diamonds to create rings and earrings with an animal theme. My favorite was the "zebra" set with alternating lines of blck and white diamonds......there was also the cheetah set and the giraffe set....awesome!!!I think we took a picture and if I can find it I will post it later.....so many pictures to wade through!

When we were kids there was a song that started "Poor old Gerry Giraffe was very very tall....". Not sure if that song was popular in the USA but we all had fun singing it in the car!

LesleyH Ideal Rock Total Posts: 506 Last Post: 12/23/2008 Member Since: 8/29/2000	So what is your ring size? I couldn't believe how ugly this little guy was!!! We ate soooo much beef jerky - in South Africa it is called "biltong" and is usually made from venison. It tastes different to the jerky here in the USA. Dimonbob has tasted it and he can attest to the taste!! We were dying to bring some home but there is a $50,000 fine if you are caught bringing it in to the USA. I told the kids that the sniffing dogs would sniff it out in the suitcases...of course there was not ONE dog in sight when we cleared customs and I didn't hear the end of it from our 17 year old!!!!

There had been a kill about 20 minutes before we drove up and the vultures were circling around in the sky. LesleyH www.whiteflash.com Director of Sales at Whiteflash from 2000-2008

LesleyH Ideal Rock Total Posts: 506 Last Post: 12/23/2008 Member Since: 8/29/2000	There were hundreds of monkeys. On the last morning I was woken up by a scurrying sound on the roof. There were monkeys all around the huts. On the patio outside we had left some fruit and one of them helped itself to a banana!

LesleyH Ideal Rock Total Posts: 506 Last Post: 12/23/2008 Member Since: 8/29/2000	On the third evening half the group decided to go on a night ride with a game ranger...I opted out as it was absolutely freezing (it is winter in the Southern hemisphere). Everyone came home frozen solid....of course we had a huge BBQ waiting....lamb ribs, boerewors (sausage), burgers and steaks......it is amazing how much a group of hungry people can eat..
