Multi-Country Holidays

Great adventure and my first trip to Africa. Starting in South Africa with good wine and penguins, onto Namibia seeing the second largest canyon in the world, ancient cave paintings and sunrise at the Sossusvlei dunes. It’s a great trip if you are no rush and limited by time. Sit back and enjoy the scenery go by. Extend your trip both at the beginning and end. There’s lots to do in Cape Town and many adventure activities to try in Victoria Falls. Wildlife in Etosha and Chobe was incredible. Abundance of zebras, giraffes, elephants and special spottings of cheetahs, lions. Kanoeing on the Orange river and the mokoro ride in Botswana were also special things to mention. The long drive days are a small sacrifice to see all there is on the itinerary!

I’m writing this two months after coming back. I’ve just finished my photobook of the trip and completing this made me realise how much fantastic stuff we saw. And how it’s like two trips in one. Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan are based on mountains, open spaces and some walks. Uzbekistan is cultural, four interesting cities and fantastic Islamic architecture. It’s great to have experienced both and enjoyed three new countries in one adventure.

This camping trek was challenging with many beautiful vistas. The mornings were busy so that we could start moving by 7:45 or 8:00. We had many 1000 meter accent days with similar descents. Our weather was hot most days which added to the challenge. We sometimes used lifts to get up or down, especially in the Chamonix valley. Our guide, Egle was very calm with a lovely smile to help us along. Albert, our camp organizer kept us well fed and was always ready to offer any help we needed. We had an excellent group of mostly very experienced hikers. The two nights without showers meant we had to wash as best we could. Overall an excellent experience.
