Land expropriation without compensation

During this time in South Africa of great political instability it has been made clear that land expropriation without compensation will be officially a part of our constitution.

This now leaves us with the total confusion (in my eyes) as to who actually the land should be given back to.

As a white South African, with my parents having been requested to move to South Africa in the 1970’s to help with Civil Engineering training of our people to create employment, where do I stand?

Will it boil down to the simple fact that my skin is “white” that will determine if my land(that was paid for by my hard work) will be taken and will I be told to go back to where I came from? (Where did I come from?) Being born in South Africa and living almost my entire life here I feel South African.(I have no ties with Europe)

Kruger national Park Safari – what other options do you have?

Kruger National Park is often the first thing that comes to mind, yes? As a Durban based Tour Operator, I often think about why the Kruger national Park would be my first choice. What other option do You have …?

Ideas on building a Boma, its origins and what food to serve at a Boma dinner

Recently my family and I visited a lodge on the North coast of KwaZulu Natal, a route we (Tim Brown Tours) travel regularly conducting our Safari Tours from Durban. It was here I was looking at the lovely setup of the lodge and thought that it really needed a “Boma”.

This word “Boma” is one of those words which has crossed over a number of languages and therefore has an adjusted meaning in different areas.

Before we get into some of the ideas for building a Boma we need break down some of the meanings for this word.

Southern Ground Hornbill

Needing a hollow in a tree usually preferred to be 3 meters off the ground for protection. Looking at the size of the Southern Ground Hornbill you can see how near impossible this nesting habit can be.

Amazing animal sighting on our Durban Safari Tour

The Hippo then got up and slowly made his way over to the Rhino(two young males) and this is where things go really exciting!
