Our Ranger and Tracker

Nosso ranger era um africano muito simpatico - KG - ele adora o Brasil, por causa do futebol logico - eu prometi mandar uma camiseta da selecao brasileira (ja mandei) para Pretoria onde os pais dele vivem e onde ele vai agora em junho passar um mes de ferias.



Primeiro ele nos pega no aeroporto do Sabi Sabi Lodge, depois ele e responsavel de nos acompanhar ate o chale e a noite nos buscar e deixar no chale; ele dirige o Land Rover e procura os animais - ele e uma enciclopedia da Africa = sabe tudo sobre os animais - gostamos muito dele e do servico dele.






KG, the Ranger and Zeb, the tracker. They were both intensly friendly. KG was a wealth of knowledge about all things African. He made us laugh a lot and made us feel at ease. He has quite a difficult job because people have such high expectation when going on a safari. It is a safari in the wildenness not a Zoo. All the animals roam freely there not caged so you see what you see and aresaw a lot of different types of animals.






Zeb, our tracker was a quite man and has the eyes of a Lynux he could spot the smallest animals from afar and explained every type of track left behind by what ever animal had left it and what time it passed by.

We could not have wished for better guides.


Zeb - nosso tracker - e outro africano bem simpatico tb - alias todos eles sao muito faladores e alegres. Todo mundo fala ingles na Africa do Sul.
Ele fica sentando no Jipe bem na frente para seguir e procurar rastros dos animais - e um servico bem interessante.



Zeb que tirou esta nossa foto.
