Last December, I went to Africa with G Adventures and it was life changing. Africa is beautiful, breathtaking, and as I said before like “God’s zoo.” I took over 800 photos during my short three week trip. I put up some photos last month and since I had so many, I wanted to share some more today. There are just too many good ones. So without further rambling, here’s 27 more photos to kick start your day:

An elephant keeping himself cool in Namibia

A lone tree in the savannah in Namibia

Zebras and a giraffe out for a stroll in Etosha National Park, Namibia

Sand dunes outside Swakopmund, Namibia. I didn’t touch this photo up. This is what they actually look like! Crazy, huh? It’s like a painting.

Some ducks hanging out at the watering hole during sunset

The watering hole in Etosha, Namibia

The night sky. My camera doesn’t have a very sensitive lens but you get the idea – you can see a lot of stars in the sky in Africa.

A wise bushman from Botswana. He was always happy and energetic in his explanations about the plants.

Giraffes lounging in the shade in Etosha. My guide said that this sight is rare because if they sit down, it makes them easy targets for predators. If they are sitting, it means they feel very safe.

The red dunes of Deadvlei, Namibia

The Okavango Delta in Botswana

An elephant at the Chobe River

I have no idea where this sunset was but pretty huh?

A lazy water buffalo in Chobe River

The cracked earth of Deadvlei, Namibia

Fighting (or kissing?) monkeys in the Chobe River, Botswana

A crocodile in the Chobe River, Botswana

Somewhere in Namibia…

Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon…

And here is a video of some dancing in Damaraland, Namibia (it’s a bit cheesy but they have great voices):

I can’t wait to get back to explore more of Africa. I only scratched the surface but in my short time I saw such diversity that I look forward to going back…sooner rather than later I hope.

P.S. – Next Monday, I am in Washington D.C. for my book tour. I’ll be at Comet Ping Pong
on 5037 Connecticut Ave NW at 7 pm. For more information, here is the event page.
