Knowledgeable South Africa guide

Travelers' Intercom, January 2008 issue
We and another couple enjoyed an amazing 5-day safari in Kruger National Park, South Africa, staying at four different park camps.

Enjoyable trip to South Africa
My husband, Lewis, thought if we checked into South African Airways (800/722-9675, www.flysaa.com) at Washington Dulles Airport 3½ hours before our flight to Cape Town on Jan. 11, 2007, we might have a good chance of getting an exit-row seat, knowing they give preference to their SAA Voyager program members (which we are not).

Boarding Pass
Dear Globetrotter: Welcome to the 380th issue of your monthly overseas travel magazine. The following may explain some things about air travel fatigue.

Impressed with a 6-country tour of East Africa

In no specific order, following are the places I have visited that I consider to be the greatest of the natural wonders of our world.

Loved Shongololo Express trip

Travelers' Intercom, May 2004 issue
Loved Shongololo Express trip
I read with interest Vern Lewis’ article of his train trip with Shongololo Express (March ’04, pg. 84). My husband, Joseph, and I took a Shongololo Express trip in October ’03 but chose to go only through South Africa, hence we took the 16-day “Good Hope” trip. The price was $2,300 each, excluding air. We, ...
