2024 African Safari Plus: Getting There (6/10-11/2024)

Monday, June 10, 2024
Much research went into where we should go, followed by a severe trimming of the list, before submission to Discover Africa to plan a trip of a lifetime. It would have been a nightmare to organize, since we decided we should leave in two months. Leaving it to the professionals (Vihann Van Wyck), we had a seamless month-long trip.
We started the trip with two large backpacks
and a foldable tote to carry our formal wear
Here we are at the end of the trip, with all
our baggage and with personal items (purse 
and small backpack) that were originally
stuffed into the large backpacks 
We took seriously the baggage and weight restrictions on the smaller bush planes we would be using, and those limited what we could bring for the entire trip.
We had a 2.5-hour from Philadelphia to Atlanta, then a 15.5-hour flight from Atlanta to Johannesburg.

We left our apartment at 13:30 yesterday, and landed in Johannesburg at 18:30 today. We were met at the airport, and transferred to the Peech Hotel in the dark.

The next morning we could see that
each building had two "apartments"
