Things are kind of quiet on the board right now, so thought I'd add some ROAR video. ROAR, April 2006, was a unique experience for Penny and me and fortunately I documented the Safari on tape and had my brother edit the adventure and put it on two different disks totaling about 4 hours. Recently I remastered the video and edited it even more and am in the process on hosting the adventure on the same site I keep my photos and other videos. The beginning of the ROAR series starts with a photo recap of the players and what we did while in Africa and each segment thereafter (maximum of 10 mins. each) shows us in action. There will probably be about 18 different segments of 10 mins or less each) Here's the start: Video - a - People/Animals/Birds/Livingston/4 corners Click here: http://ray-penny.smugmug.com/Vacati...eos/15371162_XbANh#1151307429_mdvR5-A-LB ===== Video - b - Enroute & Cape Town: B&B/private tour/Table Top Mountain/Baia Rest./District 6 Museum/Green Market Square, 12 noon cannon blast/Cape Grace http://ray-penny.smugmug.com/Vacati...eos/15371162_XbANh#1150288391_QgXXC-L-LB ===== Video - c - Wine Tasting Morgenhof Estates - Stellenbosch; Anura Vineyards - foothills of the Simonsberg Mtn.

One of my favorite memories. Tomorrow's visit will be to Justica Village school for young aged school children ===== Video - M Visit to Justicia School South Africa http://ray-penny.smugmug.com/Vacati...eos/15371162_XbANh#1155739860_2yW8y-A-LB I almost didn't attend this special event but thought, I'll never be in South Africa again so savor it all even if you are tired Am glad I did as it turned out to be a heartwarming, entertaining and educational experience. Tomorrow's video will be The JBB Boys who will sing to us. ===== Video -N - JBB Boys Serenade us http://ray-penny.smugmug.com/Vacati...eos/15371162_XbANh#1155739319_dEwH9-A-LB The Justicia Village School, JBB Boys and tomorrow's segment featuring Zulu/Food/Miners entertainment were done consecutively the same day. ===== Video - O Food Tasting/Miners/Zulu http://ray-penny.smugmug.com/Vacati...eos/15371162_XbANh#1170211453_pdoBn-L-LB ===== Video - P Today's video covers our next to last game drive and it was a good one. http://ray-penny.smugmug.com/Vacati...eos/15371162_XbANh#1162663354_6dZ3y-L-LB ===== Video - Q Tour of Ebony/Gift Shop/Brunch in the Bush http://ray-penny.smugmug.com/Vacati...eos/15371162_XbANh#1162904164_yAKYU-L-LB =================== Video - R http://ray-penny.smugmug.com/Vacati...eos/15371162_XbANh#1155769265_wmjV9-A-LB "The Kill" (See the Lions dining at their dinner table) - The last game drive and my favorite among the favorites. Use your pause key should you need to take a little more time to read Penny's note and be sure you see the ending. You can back up or speed forward as well should you so desire. ===================== The following day all of the ROARers left Singita with a number going on to Livingston and some to the four corners as well but Penny and I struck out for home so our participation ends here. Such memories!! Cheers! Ray & Penny

What I thought was neat was when your jeep
pulled up next to the other jeep.
Jan and I have cruised with everyone in that jeep. Course I could not see who was in yours
and maybe you and Penny are the only ones.
Thanks for doing this here.

Video - J James the Tracker becomes tracked by Lions Rhinos Zebras http://ray-penny.smugmug.com/Vacati...eos/15371162_XbANh#1154287562_9cWzn-A-LB We had two drives per day and you had no idea what you were going to see on a particular drive therefore it behooved you to participate in all the drives. We are currently on Segment J and we go to Q so we have 7 segments to go. Of the 7 segments remaining, 3 involve our being entertained by some Justica villagers; 3 game drives and 1 involving tour of Singita facilities. So, hang in there, the drives become more exciting, the entertainment is really good and you may find the final segment somewhat exciting and different. Cheers! Ray

I think your videos are great for someone who hasn't been on a safari. It's not like seeing it all in person, but the next best thing for those who can't go. You've done a great job on all of these Ray.
