Christine's Photos : South Africa

South Africa Galleries

Lion's Head Hike : Jim, Tim and Christine hike Lion's Head in Cape Town, South Africa. It started out being a chilly and very windy hike, but turned into a hot African afternoon. When we arrived there was a movie being shot at the base of the mountain. Many of these photos are actually of Table Mountain which we didn't hike but did visit on another day when the top wasn't covered in clouds.

Kapama Game Reserve : Jim and I stayed at Kapama Game Reserve in South Africa form February 22-29. There are alot of photos here but it is really hard to choose when you've taken over 1500 shots. I am not going to take time to label all of the photos, just the animal you may not be familiar with. The animals know as the "Big Five" are Lion, Leopard, White Rhinoceros,African Buffalo, and African Savanna Elephant; all of which we got to see. Each day started with a 5:30am wake up call. Coffe, tea, and light snack were served and we were in our Land Cruiser by 6am. Morning game drive lasted until 9am and then we were served a full breakfast buffet style, outside around the boma. Next we headed to the pool, bar or lounge area for a bit. Lunch was served from 11 to 1pm. Then it was naptime until around 3:30 when showers were taken. Tea was at 4pm followed by game drive at 4:30. Evening game drive included a stop for a sundowner where a minibar and snacks, (including biltong, nuts, pretzels,etc) were set up. Game drive ended around 7 although we were usually late, sometimes as late as 8pm. Dinner was from 7:30 until 9pm around the boma, in the river bed, or in the formal dining area. Several nights we were entertained by local musicians and dancers.

A Day in London : Jim and I left Phoenix on Wednesday the 20th of February. After a transfer through L.A. and then Chicago, we arrived in London on the morning of the 21st. We spent 8 hours walking around the city before returning to Heathrow for a shower and leaving for Johannesburg. Didn't take alot of pics, weather was crummy, cold and windy. Not sure what the men on horses were doing. All of these were taken in and around Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens.
