Camping under the stars in the Okavango June 6, 2007

Camp under the stars, get soaked by the spray of the spectacular Victoria Falls, Sunset on the Zambezi River, Hippos yawning & Elephants swimming in Chobe, A mokoro trip on the Okavango Delta and wild camping – with the cry of the Fish Eagle giving you goose bumps.
Just a few of the sights & sounds that greeted me on my recent 10 day Okavango Experience. Camping is the true way to find your soul in Africa. We had the wonderful opportunity to meet & spend time with the locals from Zambia & Botswana.
In Livingstone ( Zambia) we participated in a local community initiative – a guided cycle ride through the local village. This was an initiative from one of the locals, who used the income earned from the USD25 participants paid, to establish a local school. Our guide – Oliver – was one of the local teachers, who showed us the traditional ways – from building to beer drinking.
Great Walk in Tsavo National Park June 3, 2007

Tomorrow I leave on the Great Walk of Africa, traversing 200km of West and East National Parks in Kenya. Can’t wait. We follow the Tsavo and Galana rivers across this great African wilderness. The place has a fascinating and infamous colonial history, mostly revolving around the legendary “man-eaters” of Tsavo who preyed on the labourers who built the Lunatic Express railway that runs north-south across the park.
I have built a preliminary map of the route (its a gross approximation) but will be taking my GPS to log the track and publish on Google Earth and Google Maps.
Update: Impressions of the Great Walk
Got to go…

Some ideas are nurtured long before you ever have the opportunity to taste their fruits. Change is not seen in the moment, but over a period of time and to make things worse, our current human condition loves the expression of “living for the moment”. But what about tomorrow? Do we notice the footprints we leave behind?
