Travel reviews by Mrs C - Thames Ditton
Two weeks that will stay with us forever
On this trip, I visited Botswana & Namibia between 27-Jul-2007 and 11-Aug-2007 and I travelled with 5 other people.
We learnt so much about Africa on this trip but through our experiences we also learnt some new things about ourselves.
The time spent at Swakopmund was a welcome break from the rigours of travelling by jeep. Okinjima equally offered the perfect balance. If we had to change one thing it would be the trip to Linyanti which was probably one safari too much. However if we had then we would have missed the buffalo, lion kill ......
