Where in the world did we go?

This map illustrate our international travels. Going from US to Africa, the flight is a 15 hour non-stop flight. Due to the altitude of Johannesburg Airport, it is impossible to fly non-stop back to the US with the Airbus A340-600. We needed to stop at Dakar, Senegal for fuel.

The map below shows our travels in South Africa. Most international flights arrive in Johannesburg. After arriving in Johannesburg, we took a de Havilland Dash-8 to Richards Bay where we then took an hour-long car ride through Hluhluwe to Zulu Nyala. We took a day trip to Tembe Elephant Park near the border of Mozambique. For the second part of the trip, we flew back to Johannesburg where we then took a hour car drive south just over the border to Free State where we stayed near Parys at the Savannah. Mike and Pieter took a day trip west to Kimberly, the big diamond-mining town.
