Best southern Africa travel postings
in Nov 2008
November's top postings range from a 3 girl roadtrip to to a US Baptist Church member's frustration at the volume of AIDS-related burials in southern Africa.
Best of the best
Whilst we thoroughly enjoyed the three young ladies' account of their drive to Cintsa, Francois Portmann's high quality photos of the Cape Griffon vulture colony at the cliffs of Thabazimbi is an easy winner. Francois' blog posting involved travelling off the beaten track and painstakingly waiting for the birds to optimally line up with his lens - he's a worthy winner of the November 2008 southern Africa travel blog posting of the month. We hope he visits South Africa again. Francois, thanks for sharing your adventure with us.

October's top southern African blog posting was Sebastian Modak's wonderful account of his travels through Namibia's desert, where he eyed out Swakop's lego-like structures and chatted to a philosophising englishman.
