LOL, thanks for the spitbraai pic. My mouth is watering! Went to the Drakensberg mountains on a rugby camp. At night we looked up at the stars to see satelites. Also spent my honeymoon there. Makes one think back...

Yeah, Biltong is great and I always carry my needle with me ;-) SAF might be my next visit to Africa, but I am not going to stay in the cities.

I would sooner go to S. Africa then Kenya or Tanzania to go on a safari. Vehicles there are better than those mini-vans used in the east african countries.
