"Anyone who has not traveled far thinks his mother is the best cook". We are a Danish family who love traveling in Africa. We describe our experiences to relive them because memories of experiences matter. Or in Karen Blixen´s words "We often talked of the Safaris that we had been on. Camping places fix themselves in your mind as if you had spent long periods of your life in them. You will remember a curve of your wagon track in the grass of the plain, like the features of a friend", Blixen 1937

Our journey begins in Windhoek, heading northwest through the vast Namib Desert to the remote and sparsely populated Kaokoland. From there, we cross classic African bushveld via Etosha National Park, renowned for its wildlife and open plains.
The route then turns east toward Botswana, following a rough track across the Kalahari Desert, passing through the small settlement of Tsumkwe.
In Botswana, our four-wheel drive journey takes us to some of southern Africa’s most iconic wilderness areas:
The expedition concludes at the spectacular Victoria Falls, on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe.
What follows is a detailed account of our 2012 self-drive expedition through Namibia, Botswana, and Zambia, - with landscapes, wildlife encounters, and practical overland travel experiences along the way.

Sommer 2012. Familie på 2 voksne og 2 børn – en dreng på 12 og en pige på 13 år – drager på en 5 ugers ekspedition i en specialudrustet Land Rover. Turen omfatter 4.500 km gennem Namibia, Botswana og Zambia.
Ruten går fra Windhoek nordvestpå gennem Namib-ørkenen til det øde Kaokoland. Bushveld krydses via Etosha National Park. Herefter går turen østpå mod Botswana via et spor gennem Kalahari-ørkenen og den lille flække Tsumkwe.
I Botswana når vi Okavango-deltaet, Central Kalahari, Makgadikgadi/Nxai Pans, Moremi Game Reserve og Chobe National Park. Rejsen afsluttes ved Victoria Falls.
I det følgende beskrives vores rejse i 2012 – god fornøjelse.
