I'm not seeing the photo Suzette, where did u post it? I really want to see it. *

Can't even spell WRITE tonight! Here is 2 photo's. Elephants to follow

The Makgadikgadi Pan is a large salt pan in northern Botswana, the largest salt flat complex in the world. These salt pans cover 16,000 km2 (6,177.6 sq mi)

Sorry for delay in loading photo's! See car wipers at bottom of elephant photo - I had to zoom out to get them in photo!

Suzette, just lovely photo's - thank you for sharing them. It is great to also see your photo, instead of an avatar. *4U

Beautiful photo's I have seen some wonderful photo from South Africa. We have a preacher from our Church that teacher in a Bible College there in South Africa.

Suzette, thank you for sharing a few moments of this beautiful land.

Such lovely pictures, make me want to travel!

Thanks for sharing your pictures, I enjoy seeing other parts of the world. BTW....Fana is a beautiful child and I can understand how much you will miss him if you have to leave.

Suzette I always wanted to visit Botswana. Should perhaps do it b4 u return to SA permanently. I even watched the inauguration of Ghama when he become president.(or is PM)Pity though that we here in SA do not have the same crime-free life u have there.

Suzette, I almost feel like crying with you. There is nothing like the African sun shining over proud troops of Zebra, and other beautifull animals living in the wild. And I am so sure you agree, that there is just nothing more beautifull than a African child. Hope you will be able to keep contact with his mother and him. Sterkte vir jou. God bless. Marietta

thank you for sharing!

I can't seem to leave this page. I keep going back and looking at each picture over again. This is so beautiful in a different way than we see it here in the "Big City". This type of show on T.V. always captures me when it comes on. I would love to be able to travel and see these animals and people and the land they live in/on first hand. I feel like I have missed so much, never leaving the U.S. Of course, I still think Tennessee is the most beautiful place I have ever been. I have traveled all over the U.S. but fell in love with Tn. I told my son for many years that I wanted my ashes strowed over the Smokey Mountains in Seveire County,Tn. but have since changed my mind about that. Thanks so much for these wonderful pictures! Linda

Wow! This must be an amazing experience for you. Thank you for sharing.

Suzette, These photos are beautiful. The closest I will ever be to Botswana. Thanks for sharing!!! Kay

Thank you for sharing your beautiful pictures. South Africa and surrounding area is on my (bucket list) places I have to see before I die. Many of my students come from Nigeria and Sudan. I am fascinated by other cultures. Love your Pictures would love to see more!!! Thanks for sharing your part of the world with us.

As an American and HUGE fan of the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, I appreciate all of your photos so much. Please post more so I can see what the author is portraying in his word pictures. Darling child!

Ok I see them now. Fana is a gorgeous child. The eyes go straight to your heart. I would love to see those zebra live. thank u Suzette for sharing this with us. *

The elephants are marvelous. You are quite the photographer. *

Africa has always drawn me, and my Mum before me, to it. My Darling Mumsie would read every book she could find about Africa and I watch every documentary that comes on cable. Just recently my youngest son wanted to travel to Africa with his wife and children and stay for six months, but another Cutie advised against it.
Maybe our past lives are linked to Africa????

That beautiful child would steal even the toughest heart and my Heavens but the Majestic elephants absolutely mesmerise me. Maybe one day I will do my longed for safari, or maybe in my next life.
Thank you for sharing.
Hugs n roses, Meganne

What wonderful pictures, and such a beautiful boy there. The world we live in is truly full of wonders that we all would hope to see. Thanks for sharing these.

Great pictures! Tks for sharing!! We went to Kenya couple years ago on a mission trip. Were in Narok (am probably not spelling that right!) working at the Hope Centers in that area as well as taking the "story cloth" out into the bush. Another world, for sure. But LOVED it! We DID take a one day trip to a game "park" & loved that too!! But I didn't know elephants were so dangerous! They had killed about 50 people that year in the area where we were. That little Fana is a doll! I bet he loves your blond hair!

Thank you for all your comments, I've read and enjoyed each one! I don't want to abuse this wonderful site by uploading more pictures, so my apologies to those who requested more! Suzette

Thank you Suzette for sharing these lovely photos!!!

Suzette, thank you so much for posting these photos! They are just lovely. I so enjoy seeing the photos people take of their homes and places they are visiting, so different from my home! I think it's so cute Fana wanted the bunny tied onto his back, hee hee hee. I hope you don't have to leave him and his mother any time soon. Hugs, Marji

Suzette, thank you for sharing these beautiful photos with us, love and hugs sweetie.

Suzette, these pictures are a treasure! And Fana is a adorable kid! Thank you for sharing the pictures, it's almost like traveling to your place! Love,Yoriko

The picturs are amazing! You did a wonderful job with your camera. Fana is such a beautiful child...who can blame you for not wanting to leave him!

Your photos are wonderful, Suzette. I would love to get to Botswana one day. Love from a fellow S African.

Dear Suzette--These are beautiful photos, but left me wanting to know more of your story. Is this your home now, and why might you have to leave? How did you come about settling there?
