The Crossing

South Africa

A footbridge over a dry riverbed.
It's swaying terrified my wife.
Every crossing was an adventure.

We are indeed travelers (you own the double 'L' here) and try to take one or two trips per year. This is at Camp Jabulani http://campjabulani.com/), an in the Kapama Reserve. It features its own herd of rescued elephants, which guests used to be able to ride. How? Prioritization, I suppose.

The longer, narrower, more swaying bridges over a flowing river at Ulusaba were a tougher go. I only reminded her once that SHE chose the rooms that required crossing it. I chose this image because Camp Jabulani recently posted one of the just-refurbished bridge.

Traveller - I was thinking the same thing. I have seen photos from a lot of different spots on the globe.

Where is this? (can I ask, and feel free to ignore this request {really, no problem}), but how do you get to go to so many fabulous places? I mean, you really are, A Traveller!"

Best Wishes, Traveller

I can sympathize with your wife - as I hate heights.

Nice capture.
