How about the time I remembered I had a VIDEO of The Perfect Ten sandboarding? After a full night of time uploading, here it is! Enjoy, guys! (Don’t miss my epic jump & wipe out at 21:21! Hahaha!)
Waking up on day 18 was bittersweet because for many of us, it was our last full day as Mara’s passengers…. At Victoria Falls, over half of the Perfect 10 Plus Three were splitting up… Here’s where we would all be dispersing to: Lena, Johanna & Jane: HOME Dara: DRC Kitty & Silia: To Joberg […]
Let’s talk about the absolutely UNFILTERED JOY that accompanies the news “we have a short drive today” when you’re on an Acacia tour. It is AMAZING. Granted, when you sign up for an overland tour, you’re WELL AWARE that there is going to be a ton of driving. That’s just kind of a given when […]
I highly recommend starting your day with a 1.5 hour mokoro ride through the Okavango Delta, which of course is how we rolled on day 16. The ride back was incredibly peaceful in the early morning sunlight and Jane and I took some excellent photos, including some of an adorable little frog that decided to […]
This might be one of my absolute favorite days of the entire tour so far… On day 15 we got up hella early (I really should stop saying that, since “hella early” is basically normal on Desert Tracker…) and headed to the mokoro station to head to… THE OKAVANGO DELTA Mara, our safari truck, couldn’t […]
Day 13 For some reason, I get really excited about border crossing days. I don’t know if it’s because I really like getting the new stamps, or because I’ve never really done land crossings before, or what… but I woke up super excited (and super early, since I needed to use the Urban Camp WiFi […]
So I mentioned that in Swakopmund on day 8 we picked up three newbies to the tour, Lena, Johanna and Kris… I didn’t say much else since, well, I didn’t really know much else, but now I do so I figured I’d give you a little insight into The Perfect Ten’s “Plus Three”: The Germans […]
On day 12, we had to say goodbye to Etosha and head towards Windhoek, the capital city of Namibia. It’s REALLY starting to get hot, and we had a TON to do when we got to Windhoek, so we unpacked pretty quickly upon arrival at Urban Camp (which is adorable AND has WiFi, if you’re […]
So the Acacia Africa Desert Tracker Tour that I’m a part of is conducted (as are most, from what I understand), in English. Now, you’d think that speaking the same language, we would all, well, understand each other. That’s where things get interesting. Just to jog your memory, our group consists of: Two Kiwis, Three […]
Day 10 After our epic cheetah adventure, our wildlife viewing was only beginning – on Day 11 we started heading towards Etosha National Park for our stint of game drives in one of Namibia’s largest National Parks/Wildlife reserves. What’s really cool about the “park” is that the animals are just going about their normal lives, […]
