MKHAYA GAME RESERVE EVENING ENTERTAINMENT: AN AUTHENTIC SWAZI DANCE TROUPE OF OUR OWN!!


Well, the dancing troupe was actually shared by two other tables--small groups of individuals from Italy and the U.S. The Americans were from Alabama; an environmental attorney and his daughter. The Italian table was from Genoa, the fabled land of Christopher Columbus. All they wanted to talk about was soccer (football), and as it turned out, all their braggadocio was well-deserved! The folks in the photo (the people in the indigenous clothing), were very talented and were hell-bent on giving us a show--and what a drum and dance show it was! According to my calendar the date was Thursday, July 6, 2006. Excellent, fire-cooked meal. Fine bottle of S.A. wine. Terrific company. An evening to remember--under a panorama of twinkling stars, on an isolated game reserve in beautiful Swaziland!
