South Africa, Here We Come
Filed Under Abare News
Jamaica and I have been saving up airline miles for several years so that we can get to South Africa. We love to travel and Africa has been on our list from day one. It helps that we have a few friends over there who can show us around and that this summer is our last hurrah before Jamaica starts law school.
So today, we’re taking off from Los Angeles and making the 21-hour journey to Johannesburg. We’ll be in Joburg for a few days and then fly to Port Elizabeth for a one-of-a-kind arts festival in Grahamstown. From there, we’ll do a road trip along the southern coast through wine country and then spend several days in beautiful Cape Town. We’ll finish our two-week escape with a safari in Kruger National Park where we’ll spend three days looking for the big five.
For the past few months we’ve been immersing ourselves in the amazing story of South Africa. In addition to reading books, blogs and biographies, we watched several great movies, including Yesterday, Amandla! and my favorite, Tsotsi.
South Africa, here we come!

Hey Brad–South Africa–way cool-well I just want to leave you with a bit of advice that a native African friend of mine gave to our team when they traveled to Lagos
“Lions will only attack after they have seen you for the third time”–problem is–the first time you spot the lion may not be the first time he’s spotted you!!
