Here is one of my favorite series of photos I took while on safari at the amazing @shamwariprivategamereserve These lions are two sets of cubs. One set are 8 months and the other are 12. Just a group of very big kitties! ❤️ #shamwarigamereserve #lions #southafrica #easterncape #safarilove
I’m going through my photos from my trip and these ones brought a tear or two to my eye. I hope that these little ones will make it through the Covid crisis in one piece. Please be grateful for what you have and may the beautiful smiles of these precious ones give you hope for a brighter tomorrow. #southafrica #childrenoftheworld #beautifulsmiles
About a month ago I was able to see these amazing creatures playing in the river at @shamwariprivategamereserve I couldn’t be more grateful for that amazing experience. #hippos #shamwarigamereserve #southafrica
Although I wasn’t the one filming this amazing experience, this was the incredible whale shark that I got to snorkel with in Tofo, Mozambique just a few weeks ago. It was incredible to see it swim towards me with his giant mouth and then be right above him as he continued on. An absolute unreal experience that I will never forget. ❤️ #tofomozambique #mozambique #whaleshark #jezebelsforever
Our last days in Mozambique. One amazing country filled with so much beauty and so much laughter. #mozambique #ilovesfrica
The most untouched and beautiful place I’ve ever been. Absolutely stunning. With barely any tourism hit in Mozambique, this archipelago is pristine! #mozambique #vilankulo #paradise
Here are a few more shots from the last few days. Having a jolly good time in Mozambique ❤️ I don’t want this dream to end. #mozambique #iloveafrica #wanderlust
On the road in Mozambique and a few shots from paradise. #mozambique #iloveafrica #tofomozambique
Eswatini (which used to be called Swaziland) is picture perfect with lush mountainous landscapes. Riding a bicycle past zebra, warthogs and other amazing wildlife was absolutely surreal. Here’s a taste of Swaziland. And look at the cool beehive huts we stayed in! #eswatini #swaziland #iloveafrica
A few shots from Kragga Kamma Game Park the other day. #kraggakamma #gamedrive #southafrica
Today was super cool! About a half hour outside of Port Elizabeth is the Sacramento Trail. Walking along the shoreline towards the massive sand dunes was absolutely stunning! Such a beautiful part of this country! #southafrica #sanddunes #sacramentotrail
Today we took a boat cruise out to see the penguins. We were unbelievably lucky when we came across a few pods of dolphins. It was estimated to be around 150-200 dolphins swimming around our boat. They were definitely frisky as so many were busy copulating! #raggycharters #dolphins #penguins #southafrica
Another day at Missionvale Township. Today we made friendship bracelets with the kids. They loved it! Missionvale Care Centre has so many encouraging murals on all the walls. This last one confuses Kris and I!
Today Kris and I gave a lesson on dental hygiene. The toothbrushes were a big hit! And I can’t help but throw in a few more pics from Shamwari. #southafrica #lovethesechildren #shamwarigamereserve #iloveafrica
I apologize but I can’t help but post more pics from this past weekend at Shamwari. #shamwarigamereserve #southafrica #gamedrivesightings
I had one of the most incredible weekends of my life. A weekend at @shamwariprivategamereserve was absolutely magical. We were treated like queens and saw the most amazing wildlife. It truly was a dream! Thank you @janco.duplessis #shamwari #southafrica #safari #natureisamazing
Day 2 at Missionvale Care Centre. The first few pics are of an art project we did with the After School Care kids. Then there is a photo of Rachel (Mother Christmas)wrapping presents (notice she decorated it with the word ho), lastly these are the ladies in the kitchen and the food parcels that only some get each week. An amazing day at Missionvale.
My first full day working at Missionvale. The first photo is of Sister Ethel. She started this Community Centre and is truly the most amazing lady. She has met Mother Theresa and the Queen of England for her respected hard work. It was truly an honor to meet her today.
South Africa ❤️ Puppies❤️
On a day like today I am very grateful that I’m heading to Africa on Friday! #brrrr #thisisedmonton
