This was one of my Dad’s favourite songs. My Old Man or The Cock Linnet Song was first published in 1919. It is more appropriate today than it was when he sang it back when I was small. When we originally moved into Linden 21 years ago, this became […] The post So long and thanks for all the fish… appeared first on Travel & Things .
A not-so-quick pitstop(we are not as young as we used to be)…always welcome. Then it was back on board the coach, with “On the road again” by Willie Nelson playing in my head. Day 7 This is the Donkey Memorial in Upington, a life-sized bronze monument by Hennie Potgieter that […] The post GoKgalagadi with GoTrip. Day 7-9. appeared first on Travel & Things .
Time for reflection? It was an early breakfast before we all boarded the coach once more for our drive to Two Rivers. This was the part of the adventure that I had been looking forward to the most: time that was going to be spent in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. […] The post GoKgalagadi with GoTrip.

After coach trips to both Europe and Ireland, I was heard to mutter that I would not do another one due to the largely underwhelming experiences that they offered me.

I wanted to publish my overall experience before breaking it down day by day. Let me say that I can wholeheartedly […] The post My Kgalagadi experience with GoTrip appeared first on Travel & Things .
BACK AT THE BEGINNING OF AUGUST. On the road once more. A final trip using Johannesburg as a base… I am uncertain about the strength of the internet connections at the various places we will be staying during the trip; hence me posting this, just in case I am unable to publish from the […] The post On the road…for research! appeared first on Travel & Things .
I don’t normally write about adventures or experiences that I have not been on; however, I am so excited about this tour as it is a 73rd birthday present from my wife, who will be with me, that I wanted to publish the itinerary for those who might be wanting to undertake a […] The post Experience the Kgalagadi with GoTrip. appeared first on Travel & Things .
One of the most iconic sights in the bush. An African Fish Eagle. This is just one of many species I have been fortunate enough to see while on visits to the various Sun Destinations properties. You too can “Witness the Wild“, although sightings are not guaranteed, when YOU book your stay […] The post Wildlife sightings at the luxury Sun Destinations properties. appeared first on Travel & Things .
This sign is planted in the earth, not too far from this luxury camp. In a way, this is what makes the Sun Destinations portfolio different; they are all rooted in the African soil, and striving to be as eco-friendly as possible, without the guest experience being compromised in any way. […] The post Sun Destinations. An overview of their property portfolio. appeared first on Travel & Things .
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. Author unknown. When an animal that has been especially close to someone here dies, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of […] The post A final farewell. appeared first on Travel & Things .
