Month Away

Gnomey · Aug 5, 2007

Heading to South Africa (Jo'burg) on Monday evening and then on to 4 weeks voluntary work in a private game reserve - assisting with game drives etc. (Mabula Game Lodge - Home Page).

So I'll be back after that (hopefully with lots of pictures) 8)

Have a good time!

Wow Gnomey, that's cool. Are you going to have anything to do with tracking down poachers? If so, shoot first, then ask questions.

Hope you have some fun. I'm looking forward to the pics.

Hopefully won't meet any. If I do I have to say halt (so they face me) and then shoot (against regulations to shoot them in the back for some reason). Also I've been told it is very racist against whites (from blacks - sure Henk could confirm this).

Be careful, Gnomey. From my experience, the two legged animals are more dangerous than the four legged!

Looking forward to the pics!

Good luck bud, look forward to hearing the stories in a month.

Gnomey · Aug 6, 2007

There should be some stories for sure (if not necessarily about what I have done but about others). Anyway heading to the airport now. I may have access to the internet so we'll see how it goes...

lesofprimus · Aug 6, 2007

I have been to South Africa before Gnomey, Im sure ur gonna have a blast bud, especially if u've never been before...

Just watch out for Mr. White Pointer.....

Gnomey · Aug 10, 2007

Yeah, it is great fun so far. The rangers I am shadowing for the month are all cool guys (and girls). Seen a fair amount of the wildlife so far (and for free to ).

Glad to hear you are enjoying yourself. Dont forget to take lots of pics man!

Gnomey · Sep 13, 2007

Back now (10 days later than planned). Was a great trip and I made many friends out there (who will let me stay if I go back and give me some free game drives hopefully - will we still keep in contact). Should have some photos ready once I have sorted them all out.
