Adventure into South Africa Photo Prompts

By Kristi Tencarre

Introduction

Ever dreamed of being on a safari? Imagine being within an arms reach of any of The Big Five… one jump away from a lion’s powerful jaws, mere steps away from a wild male elephant’s strong legs, tracking a buffalo or rhino on foot and then peering into the foliage at a sleeping leopard. Picture gazing up at the crooked neck of a calm looking giraffe eating leaves from the tips of acacia trees, watching the seemingly docile hippo wading in the water, sunburned back turning pink.

Imagine the southern most tip of the African continent, Cape Argulus, the point of rock where two oceans meet: one warm, one cool. Visualize standing on that jutting rock, waves crashing all around you, wind blowing your hair. Do you see ships rounding the “Horn of Africa”? Are you an adventurer, a pirate with a golden earring from days gone by? Have your ancestors lived here since the dawn of time, or do you descend from adventurous farmers yearning for fertile land unavailable in their homeland.

Adventure with me into South Africa!
