Caprivi - 1st leg of our Namibia Adventure
Posted: February, 2011
Our Namibian adventure has begun! Our first destination is the narrow Caprivi strip which shares borders with Angola, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana and where the 4 big rivers, the Zambezi, Chobe, Kwando, and Kavango define the character of the region! It comprises vast floodplains, riverine, mixed (teak, combretum, burkea, terminalia, acacia), mopane and savannah woodland, grasslands and acacia thickets.

Ngepi to Etosha – 2nd leg of our Namibia Adventure
Posted: February, 2011
Etosha National Park is rated to be one of the greatest game parks in Africa. The extensive Etosha pan is over 5 000 square kms (1,930 square miles) in size and gives Etosha its unique character. Although very shallow, after good rainfall it draws large flocks of flamingoes that cover vast areas in a sea of pink. Waterholes along the pan attract great numbers of game and visitors have a front row seat to a spectacular wild life show as they come out of the dry plains to drink.
