The Elephants at Mfuwe Lodge

Oct 23rd, 2008 | By Claudia | Category: Wild Stuff

I think I love all animals. They are all part of the world. This could get me into trouble but I also think I love the serpant animal, you know the one that did the tempting…..
Thing is all animals play a part in the eco system. From the tiniest parasite, I believe even they have [...]



South Africa Lifestyle - Cape Flats Lullaby

Oct 10th, 2008 | By Claudia | Category: Claudia's Wild Adventures

This endearing lullaby was sent to me from Bill.
Firstly you’ll need to understand what happens in the Cape and how people live to understand this in all it’s depths. It’s a good reason to come on a trip with me….
Hush my laaitie don’t you cry
Daddy’s gonna steal you a GTi,
And if that GTi don’t Torque
Another [...]



Too Bad - Too Sad

Sep 25th, 2008 | By Claudia | Category: Claudia's Wild Adventures

Hmmm I just heard the new about Kgalema Motlanthe being chosen by the South African parlament to take the place of Thabo Mbeki. Too me this smacks of  undemocratic politics.
Just so that you know I have dual nationality so that makes me Austro Afro.
Mr Motlane is currently the deputy leader of of the ruling African [...]



My Heart Bleeds for Africa

Sep 24th, 2008 | By Claudia | Category: Claudia's Wild Adventures

Here I am in Vienna - eine Welt Stadt as we say in German - translated a World City.
And yes that we surely are. Cosmopolitan, sophisticated, wealthy with a sense of socialism, plus law and order. Respect for nature - we have trees - can’t just chop down a tree, you need permission from the [...]



Why do I love South Africa?

Sep 10th, 2008 | By Claudia | Category: Claudia's Wild Adventures

This poem was written by Ian McDonald a South African author.
I received it in my email box this morning from my friend Pam in Johannesburg.
I love her for the perfection of her days
The crisp Karoo morning
The Joburg winter noon
The late summer Cape Town sunset
The star-filled Free State night
I love her for her people
For our warm [...]



The making of an African Activist

Sep 2nd, 2008 | By Claudia | Category: Claudia's Wild Adventures

Ory Okolloh grew up in Africa.
She admits that she didn’t belong to the poorest of the poor but by no means did her family live the way a middle class European or American lives.
She gives a touching talk about how it’s up to us to change the world. That is so up my alley. It’s [...]



Richard Bransons Event Planner In Bed with 2 Pussys

Jul 31st, 2008 | By Claudia | Category: Claudia's Wild Adventures

If Bill finds out that I’m displaying pictures of him in bed with 2 pussys - he is gonna plain freak out and he might even get cross with me and talk to me like he did 25 years ago when I was still a kid learning the ropes.
So don’t tell him you got the [...]



2 Men, a Lion, Friendship and Freedom

Jul 29th, 2008 | By Claudia | Category: Claudia's Wild Adventures

Aaah how do I start this blog session?
Well this morning Bill and I were having our usual skype session, planning and scheming about how to give people the ultimate wild adventures experience in Africa.
Suddenly a YouTube link appears and Bill’s exact words are: Please look at this - you will cry I did! With [...]



Wildest Stuff Ever

Jul 25th, 2008 | By Claudia | Category: Wild Stuff

my time I have seen some pretty outrageous wild life photography.
I’ve done my due diligence sitting with camera & waiting.
But these have to be the ultimate shots.
Hal Brindley was sitting in his car taking Hippo pics when the leopard leaped out the grass and attacked the unsuspecting crocodile.
It’s damn unusual for leopards to go out [...]



Sky Gypsies

Jul 17th, 2008 | By Claudia | Category: Wild Wheels

Sky Gypsies are more than ordinary wild wheels because they come with a pair of wings.
The man behind this fantastic flying machine is non other than John McAfee. You know the man that is part of the McAfee Anti Virus software.
Being a female that likes to notice men (and be noticed by them) my [...]
