As its #nationalcurryweek & #traveltuesday my mind goes back to great days in #kwazulunatal #southafrica enjoying a #bunnychow a #beer laughter & friendship over the humble #curry in a loaf. I am not a #foodie but love to mix in local dishes with #travel

The hartebeest gave way to him as I sat in silence in awe of his presence. Every Friday is a #rhinofriday but #rhinos are not just for a Friday. Have you seen a #rhino in the wild? If not are you ready to give yourself the chance of a sighting or encounter? #safari #wildlife #southafrica

Wild or city beaches or both. I would always encourage visitors to #KZN #southafrica to include some #beach time in their plans. Mixing it in with a #safari #mountains & #Culture is easy to do with a little help from us. Make plans today #traveltuesday & remember #kznhasitall

After #WorldRhinoDay & it being the last #rhinofriday of #rhinomonth a blast from the past. Our morning tea break was magically interrupted by this mother & calf. It was rare & surreal moment. WOW moments only happen in their domain🦏

As #worldrhinoday is just the other side of the weekend & its #rhinofriday & #rhinomonth here is the second time I encountered #rhinos on foot. It was a heart stopping moment as our eyes met. An experienced & calm guide meant the encounter went without incident. #safari #southafrica

Wow this was 21 years ago on my first wilderness trail. I have had so many incredible experiences over the years. When on my travels & I would always suggest this to you. Take some trips & do some activities with local guides. #ThursdayThoughts #safari #holiday #kwazulunatal #southafrica

Mark Henson @safarikznmark.bsky.social · 22d

If I had a passenger this is what they would have seen. Late in the afternoon I heard a trumpet. Nervously I crawled along that dirt road. Places we should all be on a #wildlifewednesday 🐘 Are you ready to #safari #holiday in #kwazulunatal #southafrica After all #kznhasitall including #elephants
