Ryan S. from the US had the time of his life at the SA Poker Open in South Africa. He didn't make the final table because of a bad beat but he made up for it by playing with lions, going to Nelson Mandela's House and partying with the VIP Poker team.

Ryan proves he’s definitely not ‘faint of heart’ while he handles an African rock python with ease. | The riders give their horses a much needed break
during their safari. |

Ryan accompaniesone of the ever playful lion cubs when he decides it’s time to go for a walk. | One of the most popular local pubs/shebeens visited, as can be seen by their “wallpaper” of business cards and messages from tourists. |
