58 Days self-drive safari

what a road trip!

This gallery is about a 58 days of safari in 2008. Our starting point was Johannesburg, South Africa. From there we travelled through Botswana to the Okavango Delta, a short stay in Zimbabwe to see Victoria Falls, before entering Namibia via the Caprivi Strip. 


We headed north to visit Etosha National Park, then Kaokoland before heading south along the Skeleton Coast. Return to South Africa via the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park
