Boundless Southern Africa expedition Tembe Elephant Park to Ponta Mamoli Mozambique section 27 - 31 May 2009



Nature, Culture, Community, the tagline of Boundless Southern Africa, certainly sums up my experiene of the five days tagging along with the Expedition Kingsley Holgate is leading until late August 2009, which crosses 9 countries and 7 Transfrontier Conservaton areas.

Maryann Shaw joined in Tembe Elephant Park in Northern Zululand, home of the Tembe people, and went on to Ponta Mamoli in Mozambique...

"I have done this quick collage of a few images since returning late Sunday , as it will take a while before I have a full set of images and story on this extraordinary trip. The community event in which a soccer pitch and container library were given to a rural school opposite the Tembe Elephant Park,was a highlight."

"Many thanks to hosts Ernest, Tom, Thandi and Slinky at Tembe, and Sandra, Rose,Frank, Sheldon, Mike and Kim at Ponta Mamoli. Thank you Johan Louw for the invitation and Leonore Beukes, Marketing Manager of Boundless Southern Africa for taking me with her. To Kingsley for his constant informing and outpouring of energy when any other person would be lying exhausted in a heap - thank you."
