Day 11

Our last day at Zulu Nyala. A quick morning tour nabbed up some final shots and viewings of the hippos and rhinos, including the baby. Then it was time to say good-bye to Penn and begin the trip to Johannesburg.

Day 11 (cont.)

We arrived in Johannesburg and checked into the only thing that made this city worthwhile, the Westcliff hotel. We had dinner at Moyo, an African "theme" restaurant that would have done Steven Starr proud.

Day 10

Best. Day. Ever. First, Penn took us to his village. It was amazing. We learned more about Zululand, and South Africa, in one morning than the entire rest of the trip. We stopped at the local school, where the kids gathered to perform for us; we visited Penn's family and his home (a one...

Day 9

Today we went to Hluhluwe game reserve ... and it was fantastic. Not only did we see the usual suspects, but also water buffalo, crocs, monkeys and ... finally ... lions. Lots of lions, lazing in trees and lounging near a water hole. Man, we thought we'd go the whole trip without seeing a...

Day 7

Rhinos, hippos, monkeys and lots of birds and warthogs. A game walk in the afternoon. Also, shopping -- I bought a huge beautiful basket and a few other things.

Day 6

We settled into a regular pace, two game drives a day, lots of lazing around in between. A bit too relaxing for me. Today's drives involved rhinos, giraffes, zebras, and monkeys.

Day 5

We flew from Capetown to, I believe, Durban, and were picked up and taken on a very long drive to our game reserve, Zulu Nyala. Not fancy, but very comfortable and homey. Our guide for the week was Penn, a true Zulu native, and the only such guide at the reserve. We couldn't have been...

We then headed for Stellenbosch, where we rode horses at Spier and tasted wines at several vineyards.
