Leaving Africa ~the journey home during an apocalypse

The Last Tourists in Africa ~ the effects of Covid and a day at Kruger National Park
This post was originally from March 19, 2020 Well…s*%t has just got real on this side of the world. As I said in my last email, we have been living in a bubble and the severity of the Corona Virus was just so unknown to us. We were literally on a deserted island and when…
