May 2009 - Namibia & Botswana - The Planning

What started as the doom and gloom of being made redundant has turned into the opportunity for the experience of a lifetime. We are taking 6 weeks to travel in a 4x4 Landrover with roof top tent through Namibia, Botswana and Vic Falls. Our adventure begins as follows:

May 26 - Last day at work
May 27 -
Off to NYC to shop for thermals for winter in Africa...in a tent!!
May 28 - En route to Joburg...2nd time this year..lucky us!
May 29 - Pick up our Landrover Puma - home for the next 6 weeks & head to Weenen for a weekend with Deon's family
June 1 - The adventure begins...from Weenen to Namibia to Botswana and back. Our proposed itinerary is on the right.
July 11 - Back to Bermuda

During our planning, we found this inspiring quote..

Namibia is not so much a place as a feeling.
It enters through the skin,
taking its time to unfold in your bloodstream.
And when its time to leave,
you realize Namibia has taken hold of your soul.
Zulu


We can't wait to feel the effects of Namibia and Botswana on us!! Stay tuned! We hope to take you on our travels via our blog.
