A yellow butterfly on an elephant's foot: A love affair with Namibia

Have you ever dreamed of climbing into an old Land Rover Defender, with the love of your life and head into one of our planet’s most beautiful remaining wilderness areas; camping wild, far from any other living soul? If you have, pour yourself a glass of wine and make yourself comfortable. Then join Lydia and Anthon, in their old Landie called Henry and journey through Kaokokoland, the extreme north-western corner of Namibia in exotic Africa.You’ll travel through endless desert landscapes, visit thundering waterfalls and stumble upon polar bears in the Skeleton Coast. You might even kiss a crocodile. You’ll chat to Queen Elizabeth of Opuwo and lose yourself in the loves and lives of forefathers and friends.Doc Anthon will entertain you with anecdotes from his medical practice and Lydia, an architect, will take you on site visits into rural Namibia.At times hilarious, at times melancholic, you will end this journey thirsting for more. Perhaps it will inspire you to plan an expedition of your own. Or simply wait for Lydia’s next instalment.
