I know I am very bad at keeping up to date on the website, but am determined to sort myself out and post regularly - when I get back from Namibia, that is ! I've been out and about this year a lot, but far fewer roadtrips than ever before as we've been gearing up to a full month in Namibia from later this week. It's very rare for us to be able to get such a long stretch together out on the road, and to be able to spend it in Namibia is just wonderful.

We are heading up to Etosha and then along the Caprivi Strip - we are only about 700kms from the Namibian border here and it is possible for us to do the southern part of the country in a week, so I am much more interested in spending as much time as we can in the north while we have this opportunity to be away for so long. We will take three days to get to Etosha and spend a week there, then two weeks along the Caprivi Strip, a few days at another reserve on the way back and then over to Swakopmund on the coast and home via Sossusvlei and the West. 

The Landy has had her final checks, the cameras are clean, charged and loaded with huge memory cards, and I've just got to sort out the camping gear and pack the clothes !

See you on the flip side...
