Zimbabwe and the end-of-year trek behind us, all eyes are focused on the Year of the Horse. What will happen, what won't, it's always interesting to watch. So at the outset here's the plan; Madikwe and the Waterberg are urgent stories, Wilderness Safaris' new properties also scheduled for Feb/March and the chance of a trip to Nigel's new property in Chobe, Ngoma Lodge. Vic Falls is on the cards too, sooner rather than later, also to check out Albida's Safari Lodge.
Looking further ahead the intention is to try Italy, Cortina ideally, and perhaps the Dalmatian Coast. Then there's the ongoing exploration of the West Coast, especially the hidden region behind the Cedarberg and inland, cross-country on backroads towards Loeriesfontein and Kenhardt.
For the rest, wait and see - freelancing is all about the early morning surprise, after all.
