The adventure: first leg
We've started started preparing our trip, maybe a bit late. It seems to be a bit more daunting and difficult than expected. The first 2 plane tickets are booked, safari in Namibia is kind of booked. I wanted to map out the trip myself but in the end I didn't have to time nor the courage to do so. We trust explore-africa-travel.com, let's see how it goes.
Our itinerary in Namibia, so you can follow us somehow, we mostly take self cater campsites. (our budget wouldn't allow for more :()
If you're wondering, we do need a visa on arrival for Namibia, which I still need to get.
PS: don't forget to get my International drivers license
