This was, sadly, our last day on safari. We’ve had five days, and they were all magical, wondrous, lucky, inspiring, peaceful, adventuresome, thrilling, relaxing, educational, and different. I took 197 photos today, and I thought I was selecting carefully in the editing process, but I still managed to publish 35 of them. So I’ve broke this up into two posts. But before I launch into the photos, here’s a quick plug for Wild Wings Safaris. The Yankee did the booking, but she says they were great via phone and email. We had the same guide for five days in Kruger National Park. He was fun, funny, willing to share and take a joke, knowledgeable, and great at spotting all the things you would never see. He was also our driver and cook. He lugged a bit of luggage, and he was full of good cheer. Or, if I may put it another way, the other couple on our safari (there were six people) had made arrangements to do three consecutive safaris with this company. That couple, a pair of English retirees, have been doing safaris in various places around the world for almost 30 years, they were repeat, and repeated customers. This is a good outfit. And we’ve been charmed and thrilled at every turn. Wild Wings Safaris.
