This book is a record of my life journeying through Africa. I travel not to get some place specifically; instead I meander and drive for the mere love of moving through slowly changing people and landscapes. I love getting involved in the happy and sad essence of the vast South African lands. There is a haphazard unpredictability that runs through all these different areas. My stories are about the somewhat strange, the odd, the trivial and the funny. Travel in these parts requires a developed sense of humor. I love getting myself into storytelling, picture-taking situations Mostly they come along unintentionally, simply happen along the way, but sometimes one must work at them, coax situations into developing and changing. "

Humour is very much a part of Obie Oberholzers psyche and he says: When travelling through Africa, your best companion is a sense of humour.
