Travel reviews by Mr & Mrs O - California
Namibia & Botswana May, 2012
On this trip, I visited Botswana & Namibia between 8-May-2012 and 3-Jun-2012 and I travelled with 1 other person.
So much of this trip was a bit of magic.
From climbing dunes to watching sunrise over the red dunes to watching a group of lions surround our vehicle and literally ROAR at us to watching Cheetahs stalk and kill, to sleeping under the stars, driving for hours on roads and being in this amazing wilderness and not seeing another car for hours and not to forget all the wonderful people we met. Some proprieters of lodges, guests and employees.
Not all of the trip was perfect, but all in all we had an amazing time.
