My African Adventure

Chasing wild game in South Africa, white water rafting the Zambesi & feeling the might of Mosi-O-Tunya (Vic Falls) in Zambia. Africa is not only 'bout things majestic & exotic, there is also it's pulsating & thriving heart - it's people.

Join me as I journey this fantastic journey with the company of good local friends.
My first stop was CAPE TOWN where I met up with Jodi. Here we are checking out the powder perfect sand of a local beach. Cape Towners certainly have it good - Table Mt, stretches of unspoilt beaches, fantastic bush land and an intoxicating city (not forgetting night) scene.

Despite winter drawing closer by the second, this crazy Malaysian decided to go swimming in the frigid open ocean in George, SA.

Once in Zimbabwe, I decided to put my new-found medical skills to good use in a free clinic (this was right after medical school). Some walked miles & miles to be seen by a dr, others came by oxen cart or mule.

Mosi-o-Tunya or "The smoke that thunders" is what the locals call Vic Falls. This magnificent wonder forms a chasm between Zimbabwe & Zambia. You have to be there to experience its incredible power & might.

White water rafting sees Man vs Nature!
