2014/11/01 — Saturday — Hlane Game Park

Today we took our grandson Mark to Hlane Game Park.  He was the official photographer for this trip.  To see the photos that he posted go to:

After Hlane, we drove through the sugar village of Simunye to the Umbuluzi river bridge, then turned back towards Manzini.  On the way, we made a 20 mile detour to the village of Stegi, located on top of the Lubombo mountain range along the border with Mozambique.  The views from there across the lowveld are amazing.  Unfortunately, it was a bit hazy and too near sunset to get good photos.  Where vast areas of undeveloped land existed 30 years ago, there are thousands of Swazi homes now spread out across the still rural plain.

It was dark by the time we got back to Singing Pines.
