Wild Dogs at Erindi Game Reserve

Most, when planning a trip to see the wildlife of Africa immediately think of the great plains of the Maasai Mara in Kenya and Serengeti in Tanzania, or the world-famous Kruger National Park in South Africa. These are all for good reason and come highly recommended by both leading photographers and naturalists alike. Indeed, I have every intention of visiting these places at some point in the future. But I would encourage anyone considering Africa to seriously consider Namibia, from the small critters in the Namib Desert at Swakopmund to the mighty desert Elephants in the Hoanib Valley near the Skeleton Coast. It is a country that holds something different from the more well-travelled African destinations, and I hope this blog gives an insight into why.
