Have you ever experienced the unique beauty of a Baobab tree up close? 🤔

This incredible tree has adapted over time, storing water in its massive trunk during the rainy season. When everything around it dries up, the Baobab still thrives, producing its nutrient-rich fruit.

“Where can I start… The trip was beyond my expectations. We were very lucky with our guides, Solly and Steven, and we clicked immediately. The group was also nice and respectful. My highlights: Etosha National Park—what an amazing place, full of wildlife, especially around the waterholes. It really felt like watching a documentary. We even got to see cheetahs. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to see leopards, so it’s the perfect excuse to come back. The scenic flight over the Okavango Delta was a major highlight. I was so happy to see hippos underwater from above and the winding river. The Elephant Sands lodge in Botswana was outstanding. All the elephants gathered just a few metres away from us... we even upgraded to a room where we could watch them at sunrise. The Chobe River cruise surprised me in the best way. It was different from the other game drives, and we got to see animals up close—hippos, buffalos, and a herd of elephants crossing the river 🤩 Lastly, the rhino tracking on foot in Matobo National Park was a highlight for the whole group. We had the most dedicated and inspiring guide, Ian Harmer. In reality, almost everything was a highlight!" Rosario Torrees

Heads-up, African Overland friends. You don’t want to miss this travel tip from ! ⬇️

If you’re visiting, make sure to add Deadvlei to your itinerary, and get there early to avoid the midday heat. Hiking the Big Daddy dune was a challenge, but totally worth it for the view! The sweeping scene from the top, overlooking the Deadvlei, was the highlight of the trip.

Tip: Bring plenty of water for the steep climb, but sliding down is pure joy!
