Next Event: Travelogue: 'Travels in South Africa & Namibia' with Mark Kelley

Tuesday, Feb. 9th @ 5:30 | Gold Town Theater

Mark and his wife, Jan, recently spent three weeks in southern Africa, starting in Capetown and then traveling across the cape by rail to Johannesburg (Joburg). The journey included a stop in Kruger National Park (which is the size of Massachusetts) to view elephants, hippos, giraffes, rhinos, impalas, etc., and then Namibia's Etosha National Park, and Swakopmund (on Namibia's sand duned Atlantic coast). The narrative will focus on how a couple moved across Africa on their own without the aid of a tour package. There will be some photos of the wildlife.
