Welcome, Moriah!


My sister penciled in some time off work and took the plunge. Her flight to Maputo arrived in mid-July, giving us a perfect amount of time to travel around together and see some cool spots.

The little kids all together again! They were kind enough to adopt me into their crew for these last two weeks. I had the opportunity to engage in a level of discourse I had long since forgotten.


Our first stop was to a rhino reserve in Eswatini. Sol and I had visited before and the experience was so enjoyable I thought it deserved another visit. Plus we had to "practice" camp all together before our trip to Kruger.

Eswatini is right across the border and we had no trouble on the journey. Everything was smooth sailing.

And time to depart! After two nights in Eswatini and we head back for two nights in Maputo National Park for some relaxed camping.

Ah, it was nice to get to my backyard (of sorts). Camping in Maputo NP is such a calming experience. I was happy to return and share it with my siblings.

About Me

Shorts and t-shirt time in Maputo. I'm all about Natalia Lafourcade & Mon Laferte, goofing off, staring at the birds and trees outside my window, and drinking coffee.
