Another normal 5.30am alarm before we made the transit through to Swako!!! We were all excited about hitting Swako for a good night out and some civilisation! I slept most of the morning on the truck, the motion just puts me straight to sleep even though I get thrown about everywhere with the bumps. Today was one of the shortest days in the truck, and we arrived in Swakopmund before lunch. We went to the activities centre first where they showed us a dvd of...

I felt much better today even though I had been awake since 4.30am, but I listened to music until it was time to get up at 5.30am. After breakfast we headed south to the gates of Etosha National Park where we exited, we saw loads and loads of giraffes as we headed to the gates. We then went to Outja for a supply stop, while Chris did the shopping the rest of us all went to a bakery for a cup o tea and a cake :) Today we were heading south west towards Twyfelf...

I didn't feel myself when I woke this morning, really could have been doing with an extra hours sleep. We were up and on the road at 7am though, for a full days game drive! I really wasn't myself and ended up sleeping on the truck all morning, waking now and again to see herds of lions etc. which didn't even excite me. I felt really weak and just wanted to sleep and sleep. We had lunch at our new campsite which was still in Etosha National Park but west of whe...

I felt aaaamaaaazing this morning! Slept like a log last night with the rain. I didnt even hear Phoebe come back to the tent. It wasn't fun taking down a soaking wet tent this morning but all the mongooses and guinie foul running around you made it fun. When we drove out of the campsite we saw loads of animals from the truck, coke heartbeasts, oryx, warthogs etc. We continued to head north to Etosha National Park, we stopped for an hour at a huge Spar for Chri...

I really didn't want to get up this morning, could easily have had a long lie in the comfy white linened bed. 7am alarm it was and it took us a good 40 minutes to repack our rucksacks and tidy the room haha. We had breakfast at the hotel and it really was one of the nicest breakfasts I'd seen. Then it was goodbyes to the 6 that were finishing their trip in Windhoek. We had no 'newbies' joining so we were down to a group of 15. Our first stop was to a huge we...
