Botswana 'survival' September 2002
Our group ...

 
The groupmembers are all mentioned in the main story, but here is our only picture with everybody on it. It was made in a very luxurious environment: clean cutlery, real chairs, napkins, porcelain plates. You see them all in random order:
Ger (thorny Rose); Maggy (I'm 21); Sylvia (I'm not!); Maurice (Cell Phone Guy); Chris (Ladykilling worldtraveler); Raphael (Here is my laundry); Tom (Any more birds out here?); Nikki (Let's go out of Africa); James (Prototypically British); Henk (Bumpy Bus Sleeper); Anthony (Where is Vanessa); Vanessa (Ant, footbath ready!); Caroline (Sternschnuppen watcher); Ton (Whiskey, Refund, Whiskey, Refund,Whiskey, Refund, ...); Belle (Vroedvrouw); Connie (In my schoolteacher days they would listen!).
Group within a group: four Australian ladies ('the Aussies') on the loose in Botswana. It was remarkable that in the beginning of the tour they claimed they never heared of 'crocodile hunter' Steve Irwin. At the end of the tour this real aussie was mentioned four times a day at least.

After this trip we do understand a lot more of Steve!

If you want to experience the same: the adventure factory of Drifters starts every Thursday with one or more groups. We booked in a local travel agency (Toerkoop reisbureau 'Europassage' aan de Rijksstraatweg te Haarlem-noord (bedankt voor alle moeite, Marc & Mary!) bij African Holidays).

It is a once in a lifetime experience. We had it allready, otherwise we should go next year!
