That must have been cool, but nerve-racking being that close to a mamba, the only snake in the world that can't deliver a dry bite. The rhino's in the back make it look even more african. Sounds like the trip of a lifetime.

OK, its been a while.
I headed to South Africa for almost three months, did 5 countries, 20 000 miles in a car, drove across Africa twice, saw many species and unique behaviors. These are some of the photos, the sheer volume of them is hard to get through, but as they come out, I will trickle them out
Countries visited South Africa, Swaziland, Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Senegal. We were in spitting distance (< a few miles) of Namibia and Botswana, but did not see the benefit of crossing the border.
With me during this whole trip was, now regular travel mate, Devon Massyn. We spent many days and nights together and did very well. Shot Mate!!
Photo credits Devon Massyn/Donald Schultz... too hard to figure which is which
I was in SA for a week with friends, then 20 days of eco tours, then around the cape, back to Johannesburg, into Swaziland, up to Zimbabwe, into Mozambique, through Swaziland to Durban, back to Johannesburg, fly to Dakar, and we chilled in a nice French villa just south of Dakar for 5 days.. needed a break
