Day of the Predators

2009-06-22T10:28:00.011+02:00

Our latest tour saw Mary Pearce, Kate Allen, Sharon Warr and Michael Kearns, all from the UK, joining us on yet another Epic adventure, and this month the Kruger Park had much to offer! It seemed that besides the almost routine wonders experienced on our tours and the sighting of the Big Five, Africa’s great predators were also out in full force this month.

The highlight of this carnivorous expedition was the very rare sighting of an actual leopard kill. Not only is this exciting almost as elusive as the stealthy cat itself, but this was a very first for us too! Nothing excites us more than experiencing the amazement and discovering something new with our friends on tour.

As if following a trail, we also encountered a pack of hyenas gorging themselves on a hippo carcass at a water hole – gruesome and somewhat spine chilling, but fascinating nonetheless to watch nature’s macabre cleanup crew.

The final highlight of this tour was the King himself at feast – two lions and their large meal for the day – a fallen giraffe.

Africa certainly showed its wild side this June!

On another note, Savannah's cubs have grown quite fast, as seen above :)

An Eye-Opening Experience - by Franz Potgieter

2009-04-15T11:45:00.011+02:00

It’s a funny thing, how being exposed to something amazing on a daily basis can perhaps numb one to its presence or splendour. But once one takes a moment from their busy lives to stop and just take it in, it can broaden one’s world and perhaps you can even learn something about yourself.

Iconic...Table Mountain finally freed from a slue of bad weather, and the Gehandicapten Reisen Group.

---------------

This is a phenomenon I experienced when I accompanied Alfie on one of his tours – my very first with him. Living in Cape Town, to me Table Mountain was just part of the background – like the sky or the sea, it was just another object that I accepted and hardly noticed. But seeing the wonder awe in the faces of the fourteen guests who joined us this month really opened my eyes to just how amazing this iconic mountain is, as well as the various other places we visited.

And this was just the beginning.

This months ‘enabled’ adventurers hailed from the Netherlands, and were led once again by Barbara van Eck – a name I’d been hearing a lot in the office since I started working for Alfie just over two months ago. Back then, having studied journalism, I certainly hadn’t seen myself helping guide tours for the disabled through the Kruger. Instead I had, perhaps a little whimsically, imagined myself travelling to distant lands, seeing many wonders, and writing about it.

And perhaps nothing’s really changed.

As I sit behind my PC and reflect on the week I spent with arguably some of the most interesting individuals I’ve ever met, I realise that while I may not be writing for a popular travel magazine, I’m still in many ways following my dream. I’ve been given an opportunity to see and actually appreciate the many wonders our fair country has to offer, wonders that are often overlooked just because we, as South Africans, have grown so accustomed to it. Just how many people have had the opportunity to walk with the mighty lion? Who can say they have touched a wild cheetah?

Prrrrr.....Savanna looking like quite the happy mother

---------------

And these were but a few of the exciting experiences I shared with Barbara’s Genhandicapten Reisen group. The tour began in Cape Town, where we visited Table Mountain, Cape Point, the wine lands and Robben Island just to name a few. Though the notorious Cape Town weather – known to have all four seasons in one day from time to time – made some of the sights impossible, in the end we were treated to a breathtakingly beautiful sunset from the top of Table Mountain on the last day before flying north to Johannesburg.

The morning of departure dawned cold and crisp, but ended warm and sunny as we landed in the Capital. After a day tour in Soweto - perhaps the epicentre of the struggle against Apartheid - we proceeded to Tshukudu Game Lodge, which presented us with many a treat. We were barely five minutes through the gates when we were graced by a herd of zebra, spotted some elusive kudu, a lone buffalo and of course the fast-food of the bushveld – impala – affectionately called the ‘Mc Donald’s’ of the bush.

And this we just on the way to the camp. Through the next three days we spotted four of the Big Five on numerous occasions – all save the rare and elusive leopard, which was sadly a no show throughout the tour. However, as if to make up for his larger cousin going AWOL, we were treated on our final night at the reserve to a sight that is perhaps even rarer – that of a pair of male cheetahs in the wild. Even our game ranger Jakes, who dealt with these animals on a daily basis, could barely contain his excitement at the sighting of Tshukudu’s very own cheetah coalition.

Earlier that day, we had paid Savannah a visit, and were further treated to being some of the first to meet her three newly born kittens – their father being one of the two males we saw later. The following day we departed, and made our way to the Kruger Park, paying Jessica the Hippo a visit along the way and having lunch at the Shangaan Village. Here we were treated to traditional Shangaan food – including the local ‘delicacy’, Mopane Worms.

This too was a first for me, so my trepidation was shared by all in the group. However, the atmosphere was thick with humour with some of the faces that were being pulled as our Shangaan tour guide introduced the salty snack.

However, curiosity won over in general and though, with a slue of (poor) excuses, not everyone tried them (that’s you Barbara). And then there were those like Ton and Ellen who appeared to develop a taste for the little caterpillar...

After the Shangaan Village, we entered the Kruger and were soon indulged with one of the rarest sightings next to that of the leopard and the cheetah – a pack of wild dogs lounging indolently across the road. This was perhaps the cherry - or rather one of many cherries - atop a yet another EPIC trip.

So what did I learn on this trip? Besides the secret ways of wheelchairs, not to buy cigarettes in the Kruger, how to say ‘thank you’ in Tsonga, and various bits of information I didn’t know; I learn that though my life hadn’t taken me to where I thought I wanted to go, it had taken me to somewhere I would learn more about life, my country, and myself than if I’d landed up in any publication. And certainly in position of far more meaning than I had ever imagined myself. My greatest reward from this trip? The smiles of enjoyment that I helped place on the faces of all our guests.

As I waited at OR Thambo for my flight home, I chatted with another traveller who had noticed my rugged, unshaven, tired yet satisfied appearance; and I told him about the trip and about Epic Enabled.

“God must’ve led you to this great work” he said. And another on the plane mentioned that perhaps I was fated to help the disabled experience South Africa.

Do I believe in fate? Not really, and I’m certainly not big on religion either, but I couldn’t help but think that maybe, just maybe, there’s something to what they said…

Other exciting happenings on trip:

- sighting of rhino and 3month old baby
- a troupe of Blue Vervet monkeys marching through the camp
- Hyena prowling just beyond the fence at Crocodile Bridge…
- …and a visit by a warthog on the same day
- sighting of a bull elephant in musk
- lion pride sighting on a night drive
- large male lion crossing the road
- Lioness meets elephant herd…

A Trip with Epic Enabled - by Scott Rains

2009-02-28T13:13:00.001+02:00

On the prowl...Akila sizes up Scott.

I live in a small world - but it just got larger!

By estimates there are only about 500 million of "us" in the world - maybe as few as 50 million if you want to be technical.

Who're "us?" People with disabilities. People who use wheelchairs.

So being part of such a small group it is only natural that a few of us would know each other. We work together to make the world bigger for each other.

Big is beautifull...

My safari with Alfie and Epic Enabled made my world larger. Of course seeing the Big Five all before lunch in the Kruger then starting on "Big Five, Season Two" in the afternoon expanded my idea of what makes for a good day. Yet there was something else going on.

It was a wheelchair-using English fellow living in Belgium who put me in touch with Epic. Although I was previously influenced by an American friend in Chicago who did a study on the accessibility of South African tourism products, I was nudged ahead by an Indian with family in Brazil who told me more stories about accessible safaris, and intrigued by the interest in my potential trip shown by travel professional colleagues - all of whom specialize in serving travelers with disabilities: a Canadian, an Australian, several Thais, a German, a Pakistani, and one temporary Nicaraguan.

Smile for the Camera...Winnifred shares a kodac moment with the King of the Jungle.

I think it was two other professional colleagues - each with heartstrings attached to someone special in South Africa - whose uniquely English and Chinese insights into South Africa convinced me to go. It didn't hurt that I had a personal invitation from a tour operator in KwaZulu-Natal (Jennae Bezuidenhout of Access 2 Africa Safaris) and knew that her husband is a quadriplegic like I am.

My story of apparent "over-researching" for the trip is not at all uncommon among travelers with disabilities. Studies show that we depend more on word-of-mouth recommendations when making the decision to travel than any other sector of the market.

And the research paid off.

I can heartily endorse Alfie, Sabine - the entire crew at Epic Enabled - because I traveled through the Kruger with Epic (and on the way encountered a most uncomfortable traveler's health condition that Alfie unhesitatingly helped me resolve.)

As close as it gets...Winnifred & Marieke up close and personal with Akila & Savannah.

Others have told the story of the amazing wildlife and hearty food served out in the pristine veldt. My memories center on someone who has built a unique business - driving the whole safari industry and South African national tourism industry to greater standards of excellence.

Thank you Epic. Thank you Alfie.

Come to think of it, maybe my world just got smaller.

Once I got home a journalist friend in Chennai wrote after seeing my photos, "Oh, I see you met Akila too!" Now I'm also part of the small confraternity of travelers with disabilities who have taken a long walk down a country road with a wild lion!

Livin' It Up November Tour

2008-11-30T11:21:00.000+02:00

The lion cubs Shingwe & Timba (named after the Shingwedze & Timbavati rivers) at Tshukudu are doing well, and treated us to some rough-and-tumbles
-------------------

Our 8 day Kruger Tour from 6-13 November saw the return of Jon Bunnig (The Netherlands), the smiling face of Epic Enabled's logo. Jon was on a tour with us in January 2002. This year Jon brought his girlfriend Eelke Kelderman with him on tour!

Hmmm...this traveller looks nice....I wonder what she tastes like....

Eelke escaped unscathed from Akila's curious cat-nibble, and thoroughly enjoyed her tour! So did the other travellers:

From left: Eelke, Joan & Suzanne Peck (UK), Jon, and Nancy Thomas (USA)

Jon, Eelke, Joan, Suzanne and Nancy went to meet Savannah, who - luckily for the group - was having a very lazy morning! The 5 travellers managed to get in behind her for a group shot!

___________________________________

Happenings on tour:

- spotting of Big 5 on the first day of tour

- rare leopard spotting on a game drive

- we were able to donate wheelchairs to 2 members of the Mafunyani Cultural Village on this tour - to Polani Florah Ndlovu and Makhengu Anna Khosa, who have been without wheelchairs since 1986 and 1996 respectively.

Thank you!

A very big thank you to all those who helped with donations for this wonderful gift!!

Action-packed September

2008-09-30T08:59:00.026+02:00

Baboons on the moove!!

Early September saw the return of the Stichting Gehandicaptenreizen from the Netherlands. The 14-strong group arrived in stormy Cape Town where we entertained them at our new guesthouseThe Blue Tangerine over tea & coffee. We also showed them the wonders of our Mother City, and then departed from Cape Town for yet another glorious Kruger Tour for 8 days.

Savannah poses with the Stichting Gehandicaptenreizen group

"It was indeed great to meet you in Cape Town. I really love South Africa and I was all happy with how you and Alfie accomplished the trip. Again thank you for your dedication. With full trust I am looking forward to offering this trip in 2009 again." -Barbara van Eck, group leader Gehandicaptenreizen

A new Gehandicaptenreizen group will be back for another tour in April 2009 lead yet again by Barbara!

________________________________

This month also saw Moira Lipshaw returning for another holiday with us, this time with Anne Larkin (who is, apparently, still on a high from her trip…). They toured the Kruger Park with us and then flew down to Cape Town to be pampered at The Blue Tangerine for a week while they enjoyed the sights of our city (please see the "Into The Wild" tour blog from 29 September!)

Moira with a furry friend

"Just wanted to thank you all for making the trip really great - I had a nice relaxing time and Anne thought everything was absolutely amazing!!! And is already working out how to come back again!" - Moira Lipshaw

Thank you Anne, Moira, Drew, Mary, and Anna for all the fun!

___________________________________________

But that wasn’t all…September also marked the return of the Procap group from Switzerland. The 14 members of the group took in the sights & sounds of the Kruger Park for 8 sunny days before heading south to the Cape for more tours with Epic!

Jessica meets Roan

Paul, Roan & Gea with Savannah

“It’s been a week now since we left South Africa. Roan’s back to school and we’re working again. We would like to thank you for making it possible for us to do this great trip. The Kruger tour was absolutely fantastic and we enjoyed every minute of it. We miss the morning game drive’s, breakfast outside, spotting the game (oink, oink) and the fun we had. The help and care from you and your sister was just great, it made the trip a real vacation for us all. Walking with Aquila, touching Savannah and feeding Jessica was an unforgettable experience. You picked the right places to stay and the best spots to go to.”

– Paul van’t Sant

8 Day Kruger tour 16 -23 August: this time it was Sabine’s turn to go on tour - she took Paul, Gea and their son Roan (The Netherlands) through the KrugerPark accompanied by her sister from Switzerland who was also visiting. They make a good team! :)

Paul, Gea & Roan then joined us in Cape Town for the Cape Town highlights leg of their tour.

Thank you Paul, Gea & Roan for such a lovely time...

Journey Of A Lifetime: Namibia tour 12 July - 10 Aug

2008-08-18T16:30:00.017+02:00

UK's Journey of a Lifetime (JoLt) arrived in Windhoek on Sunday 13 July. In collaboration with Jenman Safaris we met the JoLt group there and for the next 28 days we made our way through Swakopmund, the "Adrenalin Capital" of Namibia, where the group jumped on quad bikes and sand sledges and explored the sand dunes; the Cape Cross Seal Colony & Spitzkoppe for close-up encounters with seals & some team sports challenges; Etosha National Park, Okonjima and its Cheetah Sanctuary, the Namib Naukluft National Park, Sossusvlei, Fish River Canyon and Hobas, the Kalahari desert where we met up with some Bushman guides and trekked further into the desert to explore; and Khamkiri for some kayaking.

CONQUER THE DUNES!

After that it was time to say good bye to magnificent Namibia and make our way across the border into South Africa.. Our first stop was Kimberley where we took a tour of "The Big Hole" - the largest hand-dug excavation in the world, and the museum to find out more about the history of the area. We then made our way to the Kingdom of Lesotho or "Kingdom of the Sky" as it is also known, being more than 1000 metres above sea level. And then it was off to Graaff Reinet to camp and meet the local people before heading off to Knysna, Plettenburg Bay, Storms River, Mossel Bay and Oudtshoorn. We slowly made our way west through the gorgeous Garden Route until we arrived in Cape Town for tours around the city.
What a tour!

'97 tour member Anders catches up with Epic!

2008-03-04T12:18:00.003+02:00

Dear Sabine and Alfie,
in '97 my sister and I from Denmark had the great fortune to participate on your tour (No pussy tour) from Cape Town to Vic. Falls. You might remember us as I was the one who chickened out jumping at the Zambezi...

Anyway, since then my left leg has been amputated due to cancer...which I have had for 10 years now. And for the first time since '97 I just googled your company and it really put a smile on my lips to see photos of both of you again...and to see your "new" Epic Enabled!!

Whenever I think back at my abilities before the amputation, going down and up Fish River Canyon on your tour always comes to mind. I probably couldn't do that today...but why would anyone want to do that more than once anyway ;-)So I just cherish what I did do then and now just continue to travel the world in my own new way...and no amputation or cancer can ever stop me from this.

From someone who only knew you before Epic Enabled I thank you for reaching out and helping ALL of us see this beautiful world...cause regardless of limbs and physical abilities we are all brought to be peace by beauty.

I hope this email finds both of you well and in good spirit.

Take good care!!

Anders

Comments from our clients:

2008-01-27T11:18:00.003+02:00

…Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d be able to describe the wilds of South Africa as a suitable place for a wheelchair user to go and enjoy, how wrong I was…… Epic has built the bridge for anyone to enjoy nature at its most thrilling…
Ben Pickard - United Kingdom
______________________________________
…I rode off into the red African dawn in a truck so imaginatively and ingeniously converted that every disabled person on the tour wanted one… And then I will tell you that I was in a place where my crutches did not impede my being able to touch a cheetah. That I stroked him until he purred…The Epic adventure will not heal you or enable you. But it will empower you. And that is a priceless thing to have - empowerment...
Karen Krimberg - South Africa
________________________________________
...Our trip to Africa was the greatest adventure of our lifetime and we’d like to thank both of you for helping make it happen. The trip to Kruger/Tshukudu was wonderful and it was a great group to travel with as well. Thanks for being our guide Alfie...
Scott & Denise Mc Pherson - USA

...Whenever anybody asked George what he thought of the trip all he could say was "perfect"…
George, Jane & Stewart - Australia
_____________________________________
...The holiday was truly an amazing experience. Like many other people I have adventure stories when I was younger, and you never think you will be in that situation yourself, even less when you are disabled. The Epic Enabled provided a real opportunity to experience a sense of adventure...
Jonathan Toogood - UK
______________________________________
…I wanted to thank you for allowing us to participate on one of your Safaris. It definitely ranks right up at the top of one of the greatest experiences of our lives…
Bill & Carol Randall (www.access-able.com) - USA
_____________________________________
...The eight-day holiday turned out to be all we could have wished for...Well-run in my experience, I found nothing to beat it on a scale of fair value pricing and willing assistance…You move in an awesome world of close encounters with the kingdom of wild animals. From the safety of your sturdy safari vehicle you never know which to grab first - the camera or binoculars…every new day starts with the adventure of wondering what wonderful animals you will encounter next...leaving only silence and a feeling that you have been part of the mystery of wilderness…
Margaret Hides - UK
