NAMIBIA/BOTSWANA 2020

Namibia and Botswana are two of Africas most diverse countries. Since my first trip to this region the „Africa-Virus“ has infected me deeply. With its very friendly people and the spectacular landscape diversity and wildlive abundance the „Cradle of Mankind“ has taken a stronghold on my soul. Together with our excellent local guides I will make you experience this treasure of the planet.
