Not "Out Of Africa'' But "Into Africa!''

Not "Out Of Africa'' But "Into Africa!''





We were treated to a evening game drive. The ranch is blessed with all the game you would pay to see in most of the national parks and conservancies. The landscape again is to die for. We in fact had a long distance drive within the ranch, to be able to appreciate the landscape. We had a lovely supper and after breakfast the next morning on our way out, we visited Kayna at her new home. The young couple have a half inside, half outside roundhouse with separate building for their bedroom. Like our place, it is a recent work in process. It is right on the river and they are lulled to sleep by the splashes, bigger ones being the hippos and lesser being crocs and water buck amongst many other river users! Whilst building they had wild dogs ( a rarity) chasing impala right through their new home and out the other side making the kill only yards outside the house!

Jaguar is working on the mid-life refresh of the F-Pace, with our spies spotting a camouflaged test car parked on a public road in Spain. In fact the car was fully covered with the swirly wrap and had even its exhausts under a protective cover. The facelift is expected to bring new headlights and taillights employing the latest advancements in LED technology, redesigned bumpers and side skirts and a whole slew of updated active safety features. The main changes however will come in the powertrain department; the F-Pace will continue being offered with a range of turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder petrol units, as well as a few diesel options for customers in Europe. Jaguar is also expected to add the new inline-six mild-hybrid 3.0-liter unit, which makes 395 HP and 550 Nm of torque in the case of the Range Rover Sport and Land Rover Defender. We still don鈥檛 know if the V8-powered F-Pace SVR will survive the facelift but if we had to take a guess, we would say it will, since the high-performance SUV has been on the market for less than a year. Jaguar is expected to reveal the facelifted version of the F-Pace some time in early 2020, with a market launch to take place a few months later. Until then, stay tuned.
