45, black, big as a closet but nicer still. If you see in Hollywood, the father gave the role of good-natured in any soap opera. Bob Audi is the barman of the Camp. Although it has nothing to do with the love of cars is a Toyota 4x4 we have rented and with which we have come across Namibia to reach Botswana. Just ten days before we landed in Africa to make a "self-drive safari." Our road is a machine but from the outside may look like a snail, so that goes with the house on his back. Tent on the roof, take off like an accordion and made clumsy proof of the city as us. This is only one of its advantages, the other is that at night the leopard and other cats that roam around here walk around below without removing too much sleep.
has been little time but just enough fall in love with Namibia. The red dunes of the desert, the stone carvings of descendants of early humans, the tiny coastal town of Swakopmund with its bizarre charm and the best hotel I ever saw, Etosha Park with hundreds of thousands of animals. But most of Namibia and its sunsets. The feeling of solitude and tranquility radiating the views of this country can only be compared to her beauty. Not a single cloud on the horizon. Clear sky on which the sun goes down and starts to appear orange, red, violet, with an intensity that seem to be newly invented pure colors by god.

been almost 4000 kilometers above and have bitten the dust from the punctures more than once but it was worth. And his belly well served as we go. There have been night when we did not do a barbecue. A 4 euros a kilo of steak you can imagine. And the best. In Namibia there is good flesh but also goes beyond that of Botswana. For something is its second largest industry after diamonds. McDonalds say they purchase all here. As for not loving.
If someone has been in South Africa, this looks like the Kruger Park but wilder and more beautiful. You can travel on gravel roads looking for the Big Five-elephants, lions, leopards and buffaloes Rinos but best to stay at the camp in the Etosha Park Halali. They have a gazebo facing some of the many ponds that dot the park. Just wait and see the theater sitting in the bush walk in front of you. One by one the animals are coming to drink. Slowly but surely. It even seems to have an established order. As soon as the elephants leave the stage, come the wild boar. When they are tired, look out the zebras. Will come and foxes. Night falls and rhinoceroses appear. And on and on.

But I said now we were in Botswana. Yesterday we crossed the border and down along the Okavango, a river with no sea. Its waters are born in Angola, Namibia and reach across Botswana six months later. Right there 20,000 years ago the tectonic plates moved forever cutting its bed. Since then, the current penetrates all corners forming a huge delta in the middle of nowhere. Gradually the water disappears by evaporation and the process begins again. A ride on the canals mokoro is like watching Out of Africa from the inside.
Our next destination is Zimbwawe and Victoria Falls but to get there from the Okavango Delta must cross two parks, the Moremi and Chobe. Nearly 400 miles of continuous sand dunes and rivers without bridges. We also need to sleep in the open, no fences or anything to protect us from lots of lions that abound here. They say it's best to hang out with other people and put the car in circle like a caravan of the West to the point of being attacked by hundreds of Indians.
why we're in the bar, Bob. For taking a cold beer and get ready for what we have left. And by the way, heard all their tricks to overcome the bunkers, but after seeing how the water came up to the hood across the river yesterday, this mini Paris-Dakar becomes more scarce. Yes, do your best advice for anyone our is about to take the World Tour:
- And Do not stress if Something Happens, that's adventure.
