Latest Eco-adventure - DAWID’S RETURN
In April and May of 2011, Patricia spent time in the Kalahari with the Khomani Bushmen, recording and archiving their heritage sites in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park and assisting the elders of the community in teaching the youngsters about their history and fast-disappearing culture.

Patricia is currently writing her book about this adventure and her talk is on the road.    BUT, here's your chance to be part of the making of the Kruipers' movie!  Along with Richard Wicksteed, director of the documentary about the trip, Patricia is raising funds through Kickstarter.com, a US site which enables YOU to donate in whatever way you can to the making of this unique film.  Check it out:

Traversing the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park

We only have until 20 May 2012 to raise the money we need so please ACT NOW!  If we don't reach our target we get nothing, zip, zero, nada!  There are fabulous rewards for getting  involved in this project, as you'll see on our Kickstarter site, and best of all, the Kruiper family will get royalties from our film which will go towards heritage preservation trips in the future.  This is your chance to support one of the only First Families left on our continent.

Dawid Kruiper  please help my family

Patricia Glyn is a South African eco- adventurer, writer and inspirational speaker. She’s a former radio and television broadcaster, her books are best sellers in her home country and her keynote talks are highly sought after locally and internationally.

‘Off Peak’ is her account of the Discovery expedition to Mount Everest in 2003. ‘Footing with Sir Richard’s Ghost’ is about her 2 200 kilometre walk along the 19th century hunter/trader routes to the interior of Africa.

Her ancestor, Sir Richard George Glyn and his brother Robert came to African in 1863, lured to the continent by David Livingstone’s recently published account of his ‘discovery’, The Victoria Falls. Armed with Richard’s diary and with her African dog by her side, Patricia shadowed the 1863 expedition of her forebears along the river systems of South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe.
