morning here at iThala. Group is very happy. iThala is beautiful and the campsite is awesome. All the team sat around the camp fire last night, singing songs with the guitar. Lovely evening!
Olivia says: “So far Africa has been an amazing experience. Everyone here is extremely knowledgable, friendly and welcoming making it seem like a big family. We have already experienced so much, painting the school, meeting the African children, archery , abseiling , hiking, and dissecting a buck and cooking it. I have made many friends including ‘Boston’ the center’s adopted crane. We are all having a fantastic time and are really excited for the wild game reserve. Can’t wait to tell you all about it. Olivia.”

| A beautiful morning in our iThala campsite |
Here are some more messages from expeditioners following their community project phase of the expedition, prior to arriving at iThala …
Shannon says: “We have spent the last 3 days playing and talking to the most wonderful children ever. I have shed a few tears seeing how they live and how grateful they are for what they have. This experience is amazing. It has changed my life forever. So happy I am here. I have got lots of photos to show everyone. Love from Shannon xxx”
