Dear Mike,
I’m sorry that I haven’t written for so long, but I’m only just getting back to normal after spending a month in Africa on safari. It was a fantastic holiday, but certainly not one that I would recommend to the faint-hearted.
It was a great adventure but a bit scary at times. Near the end of the second week we were travelling in Land Rovers across a huge wildlife reserve when suddenly, out of nowhere, a huge rhino appeared and charged at the group in the first car. Luckily, it missed the car, but only just, and then chased us for about five minutes before giving up. We were all so shocked that we forgot to take any pictures. The guides thought it was all extremely funny, especially as it was meant to be a photo-safari.
Apart from that one incident, everything went very smoothly and I took some great shots of hippos and crocodiles during a three-day boat trip up the river.
Anyway, I’ll tell you all about it when I see you.
Regards,
Matthew
