Thursday 12th February 2009 - African Safari with Jane Walker

Nearly twenty years ago Jane Walker took a trip to Africa, taking in the sights and sounds of the savannah, viewing wild animals and experiencing local culture.  She was so inspired that she decided to set up her own business, Woodbridge Safaris, providing tailor-made safari holidays to Southern and East Africa.

 

This evening Jane will recount for us her fascinating story, with the aid of some fabulous slides.
