Our first day of the tour proper, and probably the most boring day of the whole tour. The morning was spent in Livingstone, allowing people a final e-mail check or some shopping before we would leave Zambia. Each truck Acacia Travel uses has a name, and our home for the next three weeks would be th…

2002 undergraduate study abroad trip during my junior year at Pomona College. I spent 4 months living with several families in Botswana, 1 month assisting on a TB surveillance at a refugee camp I was living at, and finally 1 month traveling around neighboring countries, mostly on my own.

As of today, I have seen the Big Five! I’d seen buffalo, rhinoceros, lions and elephants on previous game drives, and today I saw a leopard!   I was the second person in our truck to spot the leopard skulking around the acacias. We caught glimpses of it every time it darted from one copse …

Deze zomer naar Namibië en Botswana

Zambia has been great. Had an unbelievable swim in Devil's pool on the lip of Victoria Falls. It's a long way down and seems like an accident waiting to happen, but thrilling nonetheless. We also had encounters with plenty of wildlife including hippos, elephants, impalas, lots of exotic birds and b…

We hebben als alternatief een vroege vlucht met de helicopter boven de Victoria watervallen geboekt en dit keer gaan we daadwerkelijk de lucht in. Zeer mooie beelden van het donderende water en van de kloof van de Zambezi-rivier. Daarna wandelen we met de complete groep naar de Zambia-kant van de w…

In 2007-2009 I made a trip around the world and in two years time I did see a lot of places in a lot of countries. I made a blog (in Dutch) at http://leokoolhoven.waarbenjij.nu/ , feel free to read my stories there.

Lots of animals, sand, rocks and great scenery packed into this 4 weeks' trip

A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his labor and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he always appears to be doing both.

Ok the last few emails have been so quick that I realised I have forgotten quite a few things, so here goes.... I lost my thin fleece....I had it round my waist and hung it on the back of the door to go to the loo and left it there :-( my toilet bag fell out of the truck and my shampoo bottle got…

Doctors visit...no more gammy foot.  Woohoo!Chobe cruise.  Well, even though I've almost had my fill of animals and safaris this was really cool.  We actually got to cruise right up to hippos and elephants as they waded through the Chobe River.  I finally got to see hippos yawn …
