Today was Safari. We took a planned break today to see one of Swaziland’s big game parks, Mkhaya. It was awesome to see the animals up close in their native, yet protected habitat. We were fortunate to be able to see elephants, giraffes, hippos, rhinos, wart hogs too numerous to mention and many other animals native to the area. We had lunch in the park and the main course was wildebeest, and it don’t taste like chicken. I didn’t particularly care for it, but added one more thing to my list of firsts.
On July 14, 2010, I will return to Swaziland along with 10 other sojourners. This is my journal of the journey. This is my third trip to Kukhany O'Kusha Zionist Church in Manzini, Swaziland. As you can see by my previous entries (2008 blog), this church is doing incredible work in the face of the AIDS pandemic, poverty and drought. I have learned so much from these amazing people. Thank you for reading. It is an honor to have you join us in this experience.
Women at a Wedding
These ladies were guests at the tribal wedding of Thokozani and Ngoblie in July of 2008. Their joyous smiles say it all.
