My oupa was an Afrikaaner, and my mother was born just outside of Johannesburg. After nearly 35 years, I finally got an opportunity to visit the homeland of my ancestors. What a wonderful time we had! Great times included my cousin's wedding, several days in Kruger Park, several days relaxing at a game farm, a mad-dash trip around the Cape, lots of braii and even more laughter and fun.

Thank you to my family in South Africa - you're all so wonderful! And thank you to Alex, who always seemed to find my pajamas, surprising me with freshly laundered and ironed pajama bottoms. :-)

Take a look a each of my South Africa travelogues for photos from the various parts of the journey.

    We loved the Braii in Houston when the South African Rugby team came to play us.

    Lions are so close to you! South Africa is very far from Japan, but I would like to visit there someday! Thanks for sharing. And thanks for visiting our pages and leaving us nice comments.
