THE Africa Safari Co were hosts recently to a group of very lucky agents on a famil to South Africa to see the FIFA World Cup.
The group flew from Australia on South African Airlines and spent a week in the country discovering Mpumulanga and watching the Australia vs. Slovenia soccer match, in the luxury of a corporate hospitality suite.

The second part of the trip included the Safari Lodges of Hoyo Hoyo and Kirkmans Kamp in and around Kruger National Park, where the agents caught a rare glimpse of puff adder snakes mating, 50 sable antelope, a black rhino and a leopard kill.
TASC marketing manager Wayne Hamilton told TD the trip also had its share of drama when the group’s Land Rover got wedged on a log directly beneath the leopard and his kill (pictured above).
Hamilton said the 4WD became so stuck that its two front wheels were left spinning in the air.
“After much growling and hissing by the leopard and a swift reverse accelerator in the vehicle the group made their escape, under his watchful eye,” he said.
