Long before you and I; the first people walked this land. Remnants of their lives still remain; relics from an ancient time. With our guide, Ntiso, we explored these historic sites. This is Original Culture. ---- Ntiso then took us to his village and told us the Legend of the Cannibals, the amaZimu.

Suddenly I realised we were surrounded. A family of baboons moved silently around us foraging in the undergrowth. We watched in silence; Accepted; At peace. - I looked up with a fright. Two glowing embers hung in the dark. Our eyes locked for an instant; an eternity. Then, gone. A memory. A ghost.

The culinary collaboration of Chefs Lucia & Melusi dressed up their take on Mala Mogodu like true MasterChefs. But at the end of the day, tripe is tripe, it remains an acquired taste. - Chef Siya told me his secret rib basting was the best. A full rack, sticky fingers & a dirty face later, I agreed.

Night on the river. Road trip into the mountains. Inner-city explorations. Rooftop antics. Jumping off a bridge. Wrangler Denim passed the test.

After dinner I set off. The Mahai River Cascades my workspace, the Milky Way my backdrop. Alone, freezing (& a bit scared), I spent hours trying to capture the ultimate long exposure shot: waterfalls + stars. The stars didn't quite align as hoped, but the fun is in the trying. That is why we wander.

What is happiness if it is not shared? I shared this journey with true characters and learnt something valuable from each of them: Nicole "Little One", my sister. Shane the Scoutmaster. Graeme "Old Man River" & my fellow trainees. Ntiso the Guide. Chef Siya, the Father. Learn more, watch the video.
