This was a tour going right across South Africa, starting in Cape Town and going into Mozambique at the NE corner of South Africa before returning via the Kruger Park to Johannesburg. We travelled in our own truck and carried camping and cooking gear although we often stayed at hotels or lodges. The tour was booked through Exodus who contract to Mask - a South Africa company.
After our last documented trip to China it is good to see Joan looking her normal self again.
