Africa Wild

This was a great trip sightings-wise, unusual for the dimwits...

And all of us had never been to Talamati!

Some episodes will have commentary from AW members in green, which they have graciously agreed to!


Anyway, it was a grey and stormy morning....







Actually not.


This was the worst organisational experience I had ever experienced with these morons, and that is saying a lot.




Preparational meeting at Brewers, 2 days before, 38 degrees celcius:

Goldenboy: "Jeez it's hot."

Borderline: "Where is Frewells?"

RP: "Frewells is working."

Dwarf: "Oh, ja, we is going on our trip!"

RP: "Yes, we've been organising for a year!"

Dwarf: "Ja! I must organise leave! "

RP: "Yes, that would rather be important, I think?"

Borderline: "ok! Must we bring food?"


I kid you not, they are pathetic!







Day of departure 05h00

Frew: "Tring tring."

RP: "Hello."

Frew: "I've locked myself in my bathroom. The key broke."

RP: "What?"

Frew: "Carry on without me....I am a drama queen..."

RP: "Ja, ok, we'll be there now. FFS, you are an adult!"


Frewells was home alone, understandably his family had left before the annual trip.

At least Goldenboy pitched up at my place, no Borderline, but we went to Frewells' house to investigate.


Frewells' bathroom was behind a security gate in the passage, as with many SA homes, so we could not reach him!


RP: "Tring tring!"

BL: "hello..."

RP: "Where are you?"

Bl: "Err, I overslept! Go on without me! I am a drama queen!"

RP: "No, we must free Frewells, bring an angle grinder..."



To cut a long story short, we got going eventually, assuming Dwarf had not gotten leave.

What a dramatic start

You cannot let them loose on their own

I think you are all drama queens.

They are the reason we have safety messages all over place.

Err, arhem. Dimwits en route to sacred lands, pink pielietjie in the lead.
To be sure a test for the custodian! Friends, they arrived at the gate, in
tandem, Samoosa in full flow, no Suzie, but for betterment, indeed.
Malelane, battlefield for future generations, entrance acquired speedily.
And beloved ones to be seen en route! Where will it end, what will be seen?








And a spotted curator and family, imitating the boon haha. Cheeky blighters all.
See the rottweilers pissing themselves at the stink of takwandelaar, stupid hero!




















The heat was not too hittig yet, signs of dryness aplenty...long nose longdrop
hah! Muhlambamadvube stream. Long way to go as sand road required to
enable peepee for piepie! Great personal security for this venture to be!
