cross-border adventure

Wild and wonderful in Botswana

A loud rumbling tummy awakens me in the dead of the night… I lie stiffly staring into the velvet darkness, then gingerly lean across, drawing my ear to my husband Glen’s stomach. No – it’s not him! I catch my breath – the realisation that a large nocturnal visitor is grazing silently outside. This is wild camping, and this is what we came for – the ultimate Botswana adventure!

Go Buffalo!

In a previous issue we met DONNA and KEVIN KRUMMECK on their epic journey from Dundee in South Africa to Dundee in Scotland. This time they explore a little closer to home in their new home on wheels.
