Southern Africa, June 2009

Namibia is soul-stirring. Here on the southwest edge of Africa, orange sand dunes rise a thousand feet high against a cobalt sky. The coastal desert is washed by the relentless ocean, while inland, the sun bakes the plains into a cracked puzzle of dried mud, pocked with grass and thorn bush. There is water here, too, though its presence is subtle. It is the source of life in the stark Etosha salt pan, whose water holes attract fantastic numbers of game, including feline predators. Springboks, oryx, kudu and dik-diks run to elude them, in a great and ancient desert dance. Join Natural Habitat Adventures on this fly-in safari to the wilds of Namibia.

"This is my sixteenth trip to Africa. Being in game country goes a long way toward making up for Chicago winters. It restores the soul."
