It is a ten hour flight from Munich to Johannesburg and then another four to drive to Kruger Park, one of Africa's most famous wild life reserves. For someone with limited access to wild life, the sight of zebras, elephants, and buffaloes crossing the road right in front of you is intriguing, but that is exactly what you will get.
Impalas are everywhere ...
Zebras also.
Elephants show up on occasion.
And sometimes ... they all appear at once.
And then, there was this guy, the "Tamboti trash bin scavenger".
The hotels were quite unique - and, yes, I accidentally shaved my beard off.
We stayed there for four days and did a one day excursion to Swaziland, which is run by King Mswati III, who has something like 20 wives and over 60 children. It is good to be king, I guess. The place itself is not so inspiring, but, for one day, we were the only whites we saw.
Other observations:
- Africans are in no rush until they get behind a steering wheel
- Trucks can be overloaded
- It is cold in Swaziland
- There is massive money to be made in process efficiency improvement consulting in Africa
