JANUARY 28, 2012 SAPHOTOSAFARI.COM looks at South Africa - and the world - through the lens of a keen observer, resident SA documentary photographer, Eric W. Thomson. South Africa's scenery, wildlife, and its diverse people are chronicled... Subjects as varied as National Park safaris, mountain biking, Cape Dutch architecture, fynbos wildflower hikes, beautiful Cape Town photos, Lesotho mountain village treks and wine estate tastings are all "on the menu" of SOUTH AFRICA PHOTO SAFARI. And now, SAPHOTOSAFARI'S new 'FOREIGN AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT' EXPANDS TO INCLUDE REGULAR COVERAGE OF OTHER EXOTIC PLACES AND PEOPLE - ALL AROUND THE WORLD. The site is picture-perfect for overseas South Africans, viewers naturally curious about Africa or those who imagine South Africa as an exotic travel destination and are eager to enjoy South Africa travel photos. The website attempts to profile South Africa in a progressive way as it embraces democracy and leaves its Apartheid past behind; a work in progress to be sure, but fascinating to behold and photograph. SOUTH AFRICA PHOTO SAFARI draws on a growing library of 20,000 digital images. There are always a half dozen "photo essays" to enjoy. Also, don't miss photo insights into the country's remarkable people: "Faces of South Africa". New photo essays and Eric's "LETTER FROM SOUTH AFRICA" change every few days... Enjoy and thank you.
