South Africa November 2015

This Web is a photographic record of a wildlife/birding trip with a soupcon of bacchanalian activity coupled with a moderate level of scenic appreciation and a slight cultural diversion when appropriate. After landing at Johannesburg we travelled via Pretoria to the Private Game reserve of Mala Mala adjacent to the East side of the Kruger National Park. Swaziland, Zululand, Durban and Cape Town were also visited.
