Africa – Not Yet In Focus

4732 Miles Dubai to Cape Town, SA

The main purpose of going on this 7 week trip to Africa and the Middle East (ok, I’ll capitalize it!) was the single, 6-week component of travel with Africa-In-Focus.  The link is to the very nice website of the very nice tour company whose focus was photography… in Africa.   That link is also the particular 43 day tour we proposed to take called the South East Explorer, said company having been recommended at various places on the web.

But we are not there yet.  We are arriving in Cape Town, South Africa 4 days early. Us senior citizens needed a while for our constitutions to settle a bit.  We gained back 3 of those timezones lost flying over the pole to Dubai.  We were now only 9 hours ahead of PST or US west coast time. Just try going to bed at 1pm and see how you like it!

BTW – If you click on the photo strip on the right, you’ll be transported to the Flickr account where there are tons of animals in sets by week—–>

Turn right/east to and across Botswana

Continue straight ahead/east into Zambia – first half completed

Continuing on eastward through Zambia to start the second half

North through Malawi which is unmarked on the map, just between Mozambique and Zimbabwe

Finally north into “safari-central” in Tanzania

C’mon! The bus is waiting.
