And the rains still came! In the top row photos, l-r, the well-doused Sigety-Greene-Milton group are shown at safari’s end while the six-member Capi-Evans-Kesten va stops for refreshments and dodges raindrops.

     Seven dampened guides-trackers were on hand to bid us “Farewell!” as we left Thornybush amidst rising streams surrounding the camp. Word from Skukusa: “Major countryside flooding is reported! Many bridges are down.” We hit the road in a drizzle on our last morning and noted the overflowing river beneath one bridge. We also passed several rain-induced rock slides on our highway while traveling south to Swaziland (Note the great pilfered poster!)

     At the border (Swaziland is an independent country within South Africa), we went through Swazi customs and viewed many village huts on our drive to Xxxxxxx, the capital. The scene (lower right) is not the Swaziland Palace at which we were booked; it’s.
