South-West Africa Tour

My first big game experience — shared with a delightful group across Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe.

The one-month Guerba tour of South-West Africa was my first taste of Sub-Saharan Africa. We camped our way overland between Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe with a great bunch of fellow travellers, and the sights were amazing — watching the wildlife in Etosha was truly special.
