A whole world away we discover the mysterious Okavango Delta, a labyrinth of twisting and turning watery secrets; gently poling through these winding waterways we view the teeming wildlife. The vast horizons and moonlike terrain of Namibia give a wonderful feeling of space and freedom - the Namib Desert is said to be one of the oldest and we climb some of the world's highest dunes. Our adventure safari ends at the picturesque city of Cape Town.
