I've been to John's house, seen the mount and a million photos. This is a true story from the heart. Thanks for sharing this John.

The Picture by: Anonymous
I really like the picture of the SPRINGBOK. It is a very unusual animal. The horns hook back rather than go up and hook toward each other.The story is also wonderful and well written.

Great Story by: Steve
John Thank you for your excellent story. The description of your long lasting friendship with Marshall was touching and the way that you live your life to the fullest is a fine example for everyone. I lost my wife a number of years ago to cancer. Ever since then I have been trying to live my life to the fullest with Jesus's blessing and with the means available to me. I am journeying to the Kalahari in May of 2009. Maybe I'll see you there and we can hunt Springbok together. Steve

Thank you (from the author) by: Anonymous
Tiene and Michael I would like to thank you both for putting my story WHY AFRICA on your web page I have had many people tell me how they enjoyed it. I am looking forward to my next trip to the KALAHARI but you do have to sing the old KALAHARI for me because it really touches my heart. GOD BLESS John
(Thanks for your words, John. How can we not place such a great story? It will always be great to have you again! ~ M & T )

Why Africa by: Anonymous
Being the "other guy" in the story what can I say? When you get the sand in your shoes it's hard to get it out. John and I have had a great ride over the last 40 years with stories that I wouldn't believe, and some people don't, but I was there.

GOOD WRITING by: Anonymous
A very emotional story about a wonderful experience. It is nice to have friends. I have been to Afica once also and the people are extraordinarily self sufficient, family oriented, and friendly. John captured the African experience.

We all can sit around and say "Why Africa?" or we can do like John Mac Donald and live life to the fullest. Way to go John, hope you have many more trips like that one.
