Top 10 – Southern Africa
Like a whirlwind we whistled through southern Africa only too aware that we are putting the merest toe in the water of this great continent. But alas, there is a big world out there waiting to be seen and Africa proper will wait for another time. Botswana played host to us for the majority of […]
While you were working – Take a Seat, Johannesburg, South Africa
My sunburnt forearm reaches for a life nestled into a cup holder; spilled trail mix, bottle tops and a lip balm we thought we’d lost are all retrieved from the safety deposit box of life on the road. I sit idly on a seat with no imperfection other than a stain on the left side […]
While you were working – Final Whistle, Selebi Phikwe, Botswana
A fleeting glance greets our arrival into Phikwe, the dull thud of bags striking a floor have barely finished their echo as we breeze out of town again headed for the dam, wherever that is. Bundled into a car with another German family we’re buoyed in our little piece of Europe off to see the […]
While you were working – Waking Instant, Serowe, Botswana
It’s a slap in the face, after a plunge into the wild where time stands still and our only marker was the gentle spin of the world on which we stand we are on our last day of Safari. Dragged back to a connection with dates and days that we are yet to be comfortable […]
While you were working – Stranded on an Island, Nata, Botswana
Making more or less a big loop of Botswana we breeze through the last few days of the safari throwing ourselves to as many corners of this surprisingly vast country as we can. Leaving Nxai pans we venture back east to Nata, near our first night in this car at Elephant Sands. Now we’re back […]
While you were working – Success, Nxai Pans, Botswana
Like wrenching our heads out of the water in an old fashioned apple bobbing contest we plunge our senses back into the all encompassing world that is the National Parks network of Botswana. It remains to be determined if we are masochistic or optimistic; probably both but it’s the ratio which seems undetermined, and just […]
While you were working – Blood, Maun, Botswana
There’s been highs, there’s been lows, there’s been memorable experiences, tranquility and excitement and that’s just the last 24 hours. We leave the parks today for bitumen sterility and sanity, these two concepts go together so elegantly around here. Travelling in P.N.G. has up until now held the dubious honour of having the worst roads […]
While you were working – The Cycle, Moremi, Botswana
The sun rises and falls in a rhythm so much more present and tangible than we are used to, no curtains shield from a bright dawn and camp lighting is so feeble in banishing darker corners. And so it goes, our temporary reinvention to our less modernised selves sees us up at 5:30am in accordance […]
While you were working – Looking and Seeing, Moremi, Botswana
After last nights excitement we’re pumped for another day, the wet mess that was our adventure into Chobe is slowly sinking away into the sands of Moremi. We now have the environment and atmosphere that we were searching for all this time, it’s just not quite where we expected it to be. Beautiful environments we […]
