Cape Times Newspaper – September 2012 – Great Fish Nature Reserve

My time with rangers Buyisile Mkulungu and Siyanda Mgidlana in Great Fish Nature Reserve was one of the highlights of Year in the Wild.

Cape Times Newspaper – August 2012 – Kruger National Park (Pafuri)

My column in the Cape Times newspaper on Pafuri was published in August 2012. There are only a few places to stay in Pafuri, but the best is Wilderness Safaris' Pafuri Camp.
