Coping with public and private transport since 2001
A full day of driving on tarred and unmarried lay in front if us as we set out after a rowdy night for the hyenas which kept us awake trough the right. We have slept a little, but barking/howling hyenas next to your tent tend to make me nervous and not fall asleep. As yesterday was such a success, animal

It was a long drive from St Lucia to Mpila Camp. This camp is located in the southern part of the Hluhluwe

We hoped it would just be an omen to the upcoming rains in the Spring, but during dinner it became serious: it started to rain.

Continue readingAs this is our last full day in Las Vegas, we wanted to use it to tie up the loose ends. Or, so to say, we wanted to do the things we did not get to do in the past few days. First off, there were a few hotels we didn’t visit yet, like the Monte Carlo Hotel. Even though
