Last morning in Hluhluwe. On a morning walk in the bush with  guides.

Having a break here over-looking the Black Umfolozi river. The black speck center is a buffalo, 11 o`clock from him is a black rhino bull. Earlier we were very near to a buffalo but spotted him first and gave him a very wide berth. 

We had two guides. She is armed and begged us should a situation  occur, to please do as they say and not make them shoot the animal. There is much emphasis on conservation in this reserve! This is the park that brought white rhino numbers to the somewhat healthy number that they are at today.

This is a white rhino bull`s toilet. Our guide is explaining  rhino bull toilet etiquette. It boils down to not poohing or peeing in another bull`s territory. But...if you really have to go, never never kick and spread your stuff around. 

A spider. The smallest thing I saw on the walk. 

And we`re....in Swaziland. Loads of stone houses nestled in the many many hills we drove over looking for the banana farm we were suposed to spend the night on.

We were on a road like this one and the above for 3 hours in total darkness. Did not know where banana farm was and eventually gave up and were heading for the nearest town.....but somehow we ended up driving right up to KBC Banana and Paw-paw farm. Bit of a miracle. It also turned out that Julie was ready to kill me as I was supposed to have all the directions and GPS coordinates etc.

KBC Banana Farm. Beautiful place in the light of day.

Still in Swaziland, no bananas yet!!

But look...all smiles here, making another breakfast in yet another kitchen. This is the guest house at KBC.

KBC farm Swaziland. Paw-paws!! Some say yum, some say yuch!
