Yesterday began in the pouring rain, in a Jeep, water sloshing everywhere, a scene utterly miserable in every way — but then we stumbled on a huge herd of buffalo … an astonishing sight, especially as so many of them resemble Teddy Roosevelt.

As we headed back to camp, the sky cleared and we spotted one last majestic elephant: a perfect ending to our four day odyssey in the bush. Later, we were driven two hours down to Nelspruitt, flew to Johannesburg and caught another plane to Cape Town where we were greeted by Design Indaba’s smiling driver: Malcolm photographed the charming sign he brought to greet us at the airport.
