Sanbona: Imfolozi

Sanbona

Sanbona means "Check out my blog!" in Zulu. Actually, that is a lie. It just means hello everyone. This is the account of my year in South Africa. It begins in Washington DC in July. I am now all the way across the Atlantic living and working in Durban. I know, you wish you were me. Or maybe you don’t and are happy to be 5,000 miles away from the nearest TB patient. Either way, take a look, read over my rambling posts, and please leave hypercritical comments about my spelling and grammar.

Imfolozi

I am off to the Imfolozi game park this weekend. This a popular park in KwaZulu-Natal that is home to rhino, lions, buffalo, etc. We will hike to a camp on Friday evening (followed by park guides with big rifles, hopefully) and will camp there Saturday and Sunday evening. I have actually been to this park and a few others in South Africa, but have never seen a lion. I am hoping to see my first this weekend.

Again, I will find myself in the company of an all female brigade. 7 other girls, including Kylie, will be my camp-mates for the weekend. However, this time, I have grown a healthy beard to ward off any estrogen that may attempt to contaminate my male-dom.

Will post pictures of the weekend, my scruff, and hopefully a lion or two when I get back. If I am really lucky, maybe I will see a Liger.

I cant promise that it will beat cancun with 19 year olds, but i will sure try.

About Me

Name: Cully

Location: Durban, KZN, South Africa

Yes, I am Cully Wiseman. I have the curse of a unisex first name that I must spell outloud to people on a daily basis, and the blessing of a cool doctor-sounding last name. Someday, it will be great to hear a nurse say to me, "Dr. Wiseman, you left your stethoscope in the bathroom again." I am currently living in the magical moment that occurs between one's 3rd and 4th year of medical school. Except for me that moment takes an entire year and occurs in South Africa. I am here with my lovely girlfriend (who is a nurse, but just calls me Cully when I leave me stehescope in the bathroom) and very much enjoying all aspects of my life here: work, culture, food, red wine, people around me, surfing, and my piece of crap little car. I have a great life right now, and hope I can keep that going for a while.
