August 27, 2024 Today was not as early - we had to be ready at 8am to leave and head to the dunes area. I slept so well in a real bed for the first time in like 10 nights. But tonight we are in camp for two days and then back to a hotel... Continue Reading →
Today we had to leave our bush camp early! On the road by 6am. A dozen of us have booked a dune 4x4 drive and eight of us have a 730am departure. We were all up and ready and helped do dishes and pack up the truck, so we ended up leaving about 15 minutes... Continue Reading →
August 25, 2024 Today is going to be a long day on the road we have about 400km to travel and much of it will be on dirt roads. Namibia has many highways, most of which are dirt. We were all cold again last night, I gave up and put on socks and my jacket.... Continue Reading →
August 24, 2024 Today we headed out at 730. The group ended up splitting up, seven of us in an open 4x4 and the other nine were staying in the bus. I went on the 4x4, because today is an all day game drive through Etosha Park. After yesterday's half day game drive in the... Continue Reading →

August 19, 2024 Today we had an early start time - 530am. It was our first night in tents, I don't think anyone really slept well. It's our (first) game drive. The park opens at dawn and dawn was 615. We met our driver/guide (Nature) at the hotel and off we went. It was a... Continue Reading →
August 18, 2024 I set my alarm for 745 so I could shower, repack and eat breakfast before checking out and going to the zipline. I had yogurt and cereal (its basically like home, but with shelf stable milk most of the time). I grabbed all my stuff and headed to the front desk to... Continue Reading →
