Follow Philip & Estelle as we travel on a BMW 1200 GS Adventure across borders, through rivers and beyond boundaries. Daily blog posts of our most recent trip to Botswana and Namibia has been published, and available for reading.
Etosha is our favourite wildlife park in Africa, well worth a visit! Lots of animals to see and it's not crowded, making it a great experience. No motorcycles allowed in the park. :( We rented a van in Windhoek. 4wd not required.
