We usually prefer self-driving tours to have the flexibility to do our own itinerary at our own pace. Yet, this was a good decision, the roads in Africa\u00a0sometimes aren\u2019t in good\u00a0shape and if you have car trouble\u00a0in the middle of nowhere\u00a0it can be a problem. Besides crossing borders and overall safety could be tricky and this made it all very easy. Also, we quickly found out this was a good way to meet people and have a stress free voyage, without worries.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"213\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Safari-in-Botswana-300x213.jpg\" alt=\"Why should you do an Overland Safari in Africa?\" class=\"wp-image-7048\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Safari-in-Botswana-300x213.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Safari-in-Botswana-768x545.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Safari-in-Botswana-520x369.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Safari-in-Botswana.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"213\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Safari-in-Botswana-300x213.jpg\" alt=\"Why should you do an Overland Safari in Africa?\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-7048\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Safari-in-Botswana-300x213.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Safari-in-Botswana-768x545.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Safari-in-Botswana-520x369.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Safari-in-Botswana.jpg 800w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Why did we choose to do this safari\u2026?

Windhoek is the capital of Namibia, a very clean city where there aren\u2019t many tall buildings, you see a few cars and few people on the roads. You can feel safe and stress-free. Surely, one of the quietest <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/197travelstamps.com\/lisbon-in-a-day\/\">capital cities in Africa<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We visited the Christ Church and the National Museum of Namibia that is free. Did some shopping (Angolan style). We ate in a very touristy restaurant, after all, we are tourists, Joe\u2019s Beerhouse. This restaurant has a fantastic decoration and tasty food, mixture of African and German Cuisine, just like the rest of the country you can find a fusion of\u00a0two so remote countries in different continents that sometimes it is weird.<\/p>\n<p>The next 8 days were spent in the adventure truck \ud83d\ude42 The tour started in Windhoek, from there we traveled\u00a0to Botswana. A 530 km (329 miles) drive through the Kalahari Desert, land of the Bushmen. The scenery is dry, sandy and full of small bushes, acacias and donkeys (yes donkeys!) on the roadside. We overnight\u00a0in Ghanzi Trail Blazers, sleep in a San\u00a0Bushman hut ( that was so cool), and had an opportunity\u00a0to do a bush walk and at night see a San Bushmen tribal dance.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Things-to-do-in-Botswana-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"What to do in Namibia\" class=\"wp-image-6973\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Things-to-do-in-Botswana-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Things-to-do-in-Botswana-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Things-to-do-in-Botswana-520x390.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Things-to-do-in-Botswana.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Things-to-do-in-Botswana-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"What to do in Namibia\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-6973\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Things-to-do-in-Botswana-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Things-to-do-in-Botswana-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Things-to-do-in-Botswana-520x390.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Things-to-do-in-Botswana.jpg 800w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Next destination was the Okavango Delta and we stayed there for 3 days.\u00a0 We spend the night camping in Sepupa\u00a0in Swamp stop by the river.

The Okavango was exceptional, it was the dry season so less water, giving us the opportunity to do trails that in the wet season it\u00a0would be\u00a0covered with water. Explored the delta in a Mokoro (small canoe) watching the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hippoworlds.com\">hippos<\/a> and crocodile.
