Caught your attention with the title, didn’t I? Well it’s true – to a certain extent. On my first experience to a game reserve in South Africa I was nearly attacked by a lion. Today’s tale was originally posted (on my old blog) on July 9th, 2007 after my first stay at a game reserve. Here’s what happened…
Our game reserve was located in Limpopo, which was about 3 hours from our hotel. It was in rural South Africa. Game reserves are a growing form of tourism for the country. In our case, the reserve was a former tobacco farm. As the price of tobacco dropped, the farmers were challenged with earning a profit. Instead, the land was converted into a game reserve.
Alright everyone. You’re in for a treat next week. Wait till you see what we’re going to do. But you need to pack your bags first. What should you bring? Watch this YouTube video for all the details.
We’re going to go on a game drive next week. So I hope you were paying attention to what you need to pack. This will be fun…
Have a great weekend!

Where do you want to travel? Have you ever thought about it? I think about it all the time. And after talking about it for awhile, I’m finally pleased to share it with you… My Adventure List!
What is an adventure list you may be asking? It’s a compilation of all the places I want to go, and where I’ve been. I’ve found that if you write things down, you can check back on a regular basis and assess your progress. You can plan where you want to go next, and more importantly, save for that trip-of-a-lifetime. It’s a motivator.
I never realized how critical a passport is to travel, until I didn’t have one. This post was originally going to be about how I can’t leave the United States. You see, I mailed my passport in last week. My stamp from Thailand put me very close to running out of pages and I have a few trips to Canada next month. I was going to go on and on in this post about how sad it is to not be able to travel (not that I had plans or anything, but it’s nice to know that I could if I wanted to), but the U.S. Department of State surprised me.
