Why should you Travel in Africa?
In Africa you can get in touch with your soul. Africa is a continent with such diversity that there is something here for everyone. In fact almost every African country can boast toursim facilities and activities that will satisfy the most jaded traveller.
You see, in Africa things are often quite unexpected. Because so much depends on its natural resources, planning can never be precise, so there are surprises around every corner. Surprises that will delight and astound the traveller.
I'm by no means a guru on Africa, but I'd like to show you what I know, what I've learned and what information I can gather from friends and contacts across the continent. Hope you enjoy the journey with me.

My Photos of Durban
A glimpse of South African life and all kinds of bits and pieces
I love taking pictures, but I'm lazy to carry my camera with me. None of these pictures were planned - I was always on my way somewhere or doing something and these images just snuck into my camera.
These are flat kind of baskets, made with the wire that is inside telephone cables - well yes, telephony is VERY expensive in South Africa.

Vumamani Project Launch in Inanda, Durban
Zulu Dancing Girls
The Vumani Urban Renewal Programme started an HIV/AIDS Support Centre (C.A.R.E) Christian AIDS Response and education) at the eThembeni Methodist Church in Inanda C Township North of Durban. The clients needed fresh fruit and vegetables so the garden project was started, growing organic fruit and vegetables and herbs. Township residents are also taught to grow their own vegetables.
This was the launch of the project.
Location: eThekwini, South Africa
