Our Lifestyle

I just thought you might be interested 

in our Lifestyle while on Safari.

Here is but a small sample of it.

On a sandy island in the middle of the mighty Zambezi River, 

we erected our sleeping quarters:

I planted my tripod firmly into the sand, stradling a thin bedroll, then carefully draped the mosquito net over it, 

tucked the ends under the bedroll, 

placed my hat on top of this contraption, 

and thought about how unbelievable it was, 

that I lay there, staring up at the Southern Sky, 

trying to find the Southern Cross 

and dreaming about what was and what was still to be.

Here we are, already a bit more sophisticated, 

with the dying sun over the Central Kalahari 

painting our "Mosy tents" with a hue of pink, 

letting all the wonderful animals we saw during this day, 

parade in front of our memory 
and hoping for this or more for the coming day.

In Hwange National Park. (Zimbabwe)

Do you wonder why the chairs are empty?

Let me assure you: Elephants ALWAYS have the right of way.

A modern shower installation:

With a bucket you fetch water from the Runde River, 

hang this shower container the way shown here

and have yourself a shower to wash off the dust of the day.

In the background: The Chilojo Cliffs

Can you claim this luxury in your home in Harare or Toronto?

Scrambled eggs and Bacon, along with toast and coffee, 

served  on the shores of the Runde River 

in Gonarezhou National Park,

or somewhere in Mana Pools.

That's a breakfast the Hotel Ritz Imperial could not provide.
