Wonderful Safari in South Africa

I am 41, have Cerebral Palsy and am an out-going person and go anywhere in
my wheelchair.
I am interested in animals and anything to do with nature, so when I saw
the epic-enabled advert I thought wow yes please, quite expecting to be
told I am too disabled.
But I was accepted on Alfie's tour in August 2005 and had an absolutely
brilliant time. I have to have a special loo seat when I travel and this
means I have extra luggage. This was not a problem. I took my carer,
Caroline, with me on safari to the Kruger Park.
We saw all of the animals you can imagine, including monkeys, lions,
leopards, hippos, elephants and giraffes!!
We even saw two giraffes in courtship!! They were about 50 metres away
from our safari truck, Impy! We couldn't believe our luck, it was awesome
to see them flirting with each other!! I think I will remember that
forever!!
The food was lovely as well!!
The only problem I had was when we got to The Bush Camp and had to get out
of my wheelchair to go on a "normal" safari truck. I am very floppy and
despite being supported by Caroline and Denise on the seat, I wasn't very
comfortable so I had to miss some of the trips round the reserve. Although
I did meet Simba the six month old lion cub!! He was really inquisitive of
our wheelchairs and very playful toward the rangers and his play mate, a
six month old Labrador!!
Not being able to sit on the normal safari truck didn't spoil my holiday
because I had done everything else and met lots of lovely people!!!

Thank you Alfie and JB
