N'wanedi Nature Reserve

Over Easter weekend 17-or-so of us Limpopoites traveled up to the N'wanedi Nature Reserve. We all met in Thohoyandou, an extremely poor but culturally significant town northwest of Giyani (so northward by a good ways from me). We rented a taxi and made the extremely long trip to the reserve. As this was a month or so into site, and we were all still so new to our surroundings, it was one big PCV lovefest.

A lot of photos:



Elizabeth scrubbing pots.
And Seth grilling.
Gender stereotypes, go!



Sean, who can build one hell of a grill fire.


Out-of-focus delicious chicken.


Cate.


Ethan.


Carol, at whose Tzaneen apartment I stay probably a little too often. She is my Peace Corps mom, and has kept me fed and healthy.


There was a troop of baboons near our guest house. One was brave enough to come into one of our rooms. Our friend Elizabeth ran at it screaming. Somehow, that did not result in her immediate dismemberment.

We tried to go canoeing on the lake, but there was only one car to transport them and it was out god knows where. So we hiked to the water instead.


Seth and the Baobab.
