South Africa?

Hi,

London.Oval has got it wrong. The Fountains Hotel is in the middle of the city centre, on Adderley Street opposite the fountains and station. However, no way is it within walking distance of the V&A Waterfront because once you get to the end of Adderley Street there is a huge junction (3 lanes of traffic in 4 directions and hardly any pavement. However, the hotel does have a courtesy bus (extra charge) and taxi’s are fairly cheap. The hotel itself is lovely, very comfortable and very new I(opened last year). Members of my family stayed there November 2006 and taxied to the Waterfront.
As for the game parks, they are all fenced to a certain extent to protect the local population. No responsible country would allow wild animals to wander around unfenced. Even the Kruger National Park has fences. So Go for it – South Africa is a wonderful country and as long as you are aware of the personal security rules (drive with windows up, doors locked, do not wear flashy jewellry and wear a money belt, do NOT walk anywhere at night) you will have a wonderful holiday. I wish I could come with you in your suitcase!!

From Foot Safaris to Helicopters: 100 Years of the Davis Family in Missions $18.98 Dr. Elwood Davis and his wife Bernice arrived in Mombasa, Kenya in January 1911 as medical missionaries with the Africa Inland Mission. This book features letters, diary entries and rare photographs showing the story of God’s humble servants laboring to share the truth about Jesus Christ in Africa. Their grandson, Art Davis, has combed through the family archives to produce this book. The first section tells the pioneering story of Elwood and Bernice Davis in Ukambani and Kijabe. The second part shows the following generations in Kenya – Linnell and Martha Davis and their four sons, Van, Art, Ray and Alan. The book, which spans 100 years of God’s faithfulness to the Davis clan, focuses on mission work in Africa but also tells of various family members serving as missionaries in South America. Art Davis, well-known for his ability to spin a tale, provides plenty of fast-paced adventures in this book from his years as a boy in Africa – running into rhinos in the bush – to his family’s time among the Pokot people in the Rift Valley. From Elwood Davis’s foot safaris in the bush to Art Davis’s helicopter trips in northern Kenya, the purpose of the Davis family in Kenya for 100 years has remained the same: to serve a faithful God and point others to God’s saving grace.

White Hunters: The Golden Age of African Safaris $17.98 East Africa affects our imagination like few other places: The sight of a charging rhino goes directly to the heart; the limitless landscape of bony highlands, desert, and mountain is, as Isak Dinesen wrote, of "unequalled nobility." White Hunters is the story of seventy years of African adventure, danger, and romance. It re-creates the legary big-game safaris led by Selous and Bell and the daring ventures of early hunters into unexplored territories, and brings to life such romantic figures as Cape-to-Cairo Grogan, who walked 4,000 miles for the love of a woman, and Dinesen’s dashing lover, Denys Finch. Witnesses to the richest wildlife spectacle on the earth, these hunters were the first conservationists. Hard-drinking, infatuated with risk, and careless in love, they inspired Hemingway’s stories and movies with Clark Gable and Gregory Peck.
