Where we camp, is not far from a closed border crossing. The crossing is manned by armed rangers. I pay them a small fee to keep an eye on us and to watch our tents when ever we go on a game drive. Because of its remote location, we take them medicines for malaria, allergies and baked beans as they love them. The rangers collect wood for our fire and warn us if a Lion has made a kill close to us. On one occasion, they said there was a Python living in the tree next to our tent, but when I checked, the Python had moved away
Hi Phil!
You are definitely my kind of a person!

If you come over here /the Balkans/ - feel free to call. You are invited to whatever outdoor tent/caravan activities - when, where, how we decided!
