Southern Africa trip

My grandparents had been planning planning a trip like this for years prior -- Johannesburg to see the Apartheid Museum and Soweto, then Botswana for about 10 days to go on safari at four different camps , then Zambia for a day to see Victoria Falls, then Zimbabwe (we didn't want to stick around long -- Mugabe is not a very nice man) to catch a flight back to South Africa for one last game park in Kruger Nat'l Park.

Here we are beginning with a tour of gold mines in Joburg on day 1:

A shanty-town in SoWeTo:

"Housing"

Sunrise from the hotel balcony:

We left Joburg after 2 days and travelled by commercial jet from Joburg to Maun, Botswana. We then took a 6 seater Cessna from Maun to Edo's Camp in the Kalahari Desert:

View from my tent -- notice the Kudu drinking:

Our first game drive we encountered some Wildebeest -- the clowns of the plains

I'm still jetlagged -- more to come in the morning.
