Category Archives: people We spent some time in Ballito outside Durban with friends who took us around the area – from the nice beaches to a cinema to a game farm so we were quite spoilt! Our next stop was to pick up Petri, the documentary maker who was gonna join us for the last bit of the […]  Although Brian spent five years at Plumtree, right by the border, he has actually never been to Botswana before and neither have I.
