The sound of water falling apart Victoria Falls among the rocks; the perfect beauty of animal life Chobe Park; the wild extravagance of a river flooding the Okavango Delta desert; dry salt plain and animals and Nata Nxai, sleep next to the elephant herds of Elephant Sands.
The journey we propose for Easter 2014 in Viajesalpasado is an adventure and is only suitable for adventurers and nature lovers. always sleep in a tent, but as always in our expeditions we give freedom to whoever you do in one of the comfortable lodge we will close (almost always we camped in places that share both concepts). Even, two nights sleep in a camp mounted undefended, where you can approach any beast, next to our fire, under one of those skies unpolluted world of lights and smoke.
One should not die without having seen these two places
Our idea here is to make a short trip, only 10 nights, passing through some of the icons and most beautiful places we have seen on this continent. Whichever route passing through Victoria Falls and the Okavango Delta believe us already worth. I say more, one should not die without having seen these two places. But also, the rest of the sites chosen in Botswana are wild, beautiful, real. We love, so we choose.
There will be car and road you chew dust of African roads and which contemplate the life of small rural villages. We will cook us at every stop. At night, dinner by a fire. Morning, trademark, with an espresso machine, fruit, buns. Lunch and we can, without subordinating nothing at that time, without missing a second of Africa to sit with table and tablecloth. Do not wait, there will not be.
There improvisation on our routes, dialogue, Shared travel within a program we know. It's good to see lyou link the route we did this summer to understand that if you seek the perfect trip where everything occurs as the roadmap says it is not we who must choose. We travel as we are, to enjoy, fun. It will take everything that happens to us when we travel through here alone.
It will take everything that happens to us when we travel through here alone
Those who organized the trip live in Africa, no venimos a viajarla. We know that a car may be damaged at any time (and we happened), a border can be complicated (and we happened), a police officer can give you the morning (and we happened) and that each and every one of the problems that can arise are nothing compared to what we get in return. Everything is arranged in Africa (and we happened).
We insist on the philosophy as a priority to get on our routes. We know from experience that this will be the key. They are invited all who want to live an adventure, a doubt, who want to share a real trip, as if you organize ... This time, in April, Zimbabwe and Botswana by.
