We chose Hoanib as the first leg of our trip. We felt drawn to this particular camp and area because of its raw beauty and starkness, We were a small group of people with only a few camps. This place was truly remote. No access to cellphones or WiFi.( unless it was a necessity which means you can go to the main area) You are forced to switch off, it s just too beautiful! We went searching for the elusive dessert lions. We came across the incredible scientist who has followed these lions for years,Dr Flip Stander. He is so protective over these beautiful creatures that I assume he does not want them to be harassed. We enventuslly find these beautiful lions and it was a sight to behold. So magnificent! It was a prveledge. I snapped away!!! Back at the camp we shared stories - one also where we had to relieve ourselves in the bushes. It was exhilarating!! Along the way we saw the most beautiful elephants and giraffe. A sight to behold .

Drinking a coffee and a snack set up in the bush or on a cliff is such a priviledge but then I think about the locals who don t experience all of this (for those who want more! ) my experience was mind boggling and so surreal. Driving to the ship wreck, experiencing the Terrain. Seeing research centers, beautiful stones on the beach running through your fingers shimmering. Then eating beautiful lunch on the beach which miraculously appears and set up so beautifully! Everything was decadent and well thought through. Well done wilderness safaris
