Exiting july ahead....

Everything is still very well here.. The last few days have gone with various daily duties for Jensen-Safaris.
Had a beautifully cooked lunch the other day when visiting the family who makes the hunting-trophies for Jensen-Safaris. They were all very nice people and had a wonderfull huge property about an hours drive outside Pretoria and the entire family is living there. The whole setup and the people reminded me a bit of "Dynasty".. ;-)

For the last week we have had a group of very talented musicians and maestros from all over the world staying here. Some of them quite young. Has been an experience to hear them play the piano etc at The Manor House when praticing. And they surely like their wine&beer and a good chat in the evenings. So Ive managed to get some good tips from the south africans for my travel around the country in august where my good friend Andy from Manchester will join me. Always good to speak to locals to avoid the classic tourist-traps..
Holger an I have been invited to a galla-dinner and concert in Johannesburg thursday night to hear them play. And friday night we are going to another concert at the massive University of South Africa here in Pretoria.

July is pretty packed with exiting stuff. We have some new guests arriving and next week Im going on a 4 day hunting&safari in the Limpopo-region. Really looking forward to get out in the bush! And with the same guests Im going to the Drakensberg mountains to relax at a wonderfully situated lodge and there will be a bit of trekking to some waterfalls as well. Should be quite a spetacular region of SA. Im gonna pay The Pilansberg Reserve a couple of visits too as it is only a couple of hrs drive from here and the chances for wild-life spotting etc should be great. In mid-july Im going with a couple of guests to the famous Soweto (south western township ) outside Johannesburg and from the 22nd-29th I will be visiting Zambia, Mugabes Zimbabwe and Botswana...

Good to hear that the summer weather back home in Denmark is fantastic at the moment.
Hope you are all well..

Happy days!
