Crossing the Sand River on safari, Africa (1929): A Captivating Moment in the Roaring Twenties Step back in time to the Roaring Twenties in Africa, an era of adventure and exploration. In this evocative photograph from The On Call in Africa Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, we witness a thrilling moment as travelers in a vintage car carefully navigate their way through the Sand River. The year is 1929, and the landscape is dotted with acacia trees and savannah grasses, creating a breathtaking backdrop for this safari adventure. The Sand River, a major tributary that flows through South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique, is a vital water source for the diverse wildlife that inhabits the region. The travelers in this photograph are undeterred by the river's current, demonstrating the spirit of determination and resilience that characterized early African safaris. Their classic car, with its open roof and sturdy frame, is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the era's adventurers. As they cross the river, the travelers likely keep a watchful eye out for the abundant wildlife that calls the Sand River home. Hippos, crocodiles, and various bird species are just a few of the creatures that may have been spotted during this journey. This photograph is a captivating reminder of the allure and excitement of early African safaris, a time when travelers sought to explore the unknown and experience the raw beauty of the African continent. With its rich history and evocative imagery, this photograph is a must-have for any collection focusing on travel, adventure, or the history of Africa.
