To fly or not to fly

Bumpy days are soon to come. On our  safari we are likely to enjoy some bumpy rides among the clouds again. My stomach does not like them at all. I arm myself with travel-sickness-chewing-gum or -pills if the flights are longer. But the pills make you drowsy, and I don’t want to miss anything, meaning the stunning views and any ever so unlikely emergency. I guess traveling in these little planes is fairly safe, but landing on a bush-strip after the pilot did a fly-over to check the runway for potholes or drive away a heard of wildebeest, is still quite exciting for a town-clown like myself. The alternative, driving by car, would of course take much longer and might not be safer after all. So for us there is no question – to fly or not to fly…
