Reclaiming My Future

Etosha National Park (or just Etosha for short) in Namibia was my first experience game-driving (or safari as it’s otherwise called – it’s so awesome it gets two names!) and it was one that I won’t be forgetting in a hurry.  We arrived mid-afternoon, set up camp and then headed out on a two hour [...]

So.  After I almost died in the Namibian Desert *ahem* we decided to have a few days of driving and when I say ‘we decided’ what I really mean is that it was on the itinerary and I was REALLY happy to be lazy for a few days whilst we made our way further into [...]

For once I’m going to shut up (shocking I know right?) and let the photos do all the talking… If you haven’t fallen in love with Namibia by now, there’s something wrong with you

Hi All, I literally have no time to update sadly. I have just half an hour before we head out to dinner where we get to try all sorts of game meat from Zebra Springbok, Ostrich and Oryx to name just a few – uber cool. Well, so what have I been up to for [...]

So it’s been a week and we need to catch up with each other. I have to warn you, however, that the internet is shocking in this part of the world so sadly there won’t be any photos because I can’t upload them. Keep checking out my Facebook page to see if I can upload [...]
