South Africa has a wonderful and varied history. This episode gives a brief overview of the 17 Republics that at some point were declared on behalf of disgruntled citizens.
Some cool stories! The only State President in world history to have captured a hostage, a Republic of three people...........
Great stories - and we will expand on these in depth in more podcasts - but this is the start of some great history lessons and fascinating stories!

Dr Leander Starr Jameson was the leader of what was nominally a mercenary raid into the Zuid Afrikaansche Republiek of President Paul Kruger. Funded by Cecil john Rhodes when he was Premier of the Cape Colony, it was his play to annex the Republiek and take over the richest gold-field in the world for the British Empire. Rhodes had convinced himself that the sentiment in the gold-mining town of Johannesburg was such, that should an armed raid manage to get within the city boundaries, there would be a popular uprising in support of the overthrow of the rather inefficient and corrupt government. He totally misread the determination of Kruger to keep the ZAR independent of any British influence.

A 5 night tour to the Central Region of the Kruger National Park. A repeat client from 16 years ago decided to return and show the Kruger Park to his family. Thank you for trusting me again with your holiday.
This is a typical itinerary for a great Kruger Park experience.
