Nomad Adventure Tours: My Review

September 18, 2012

After spending the last two months reliving my time traveling through South Africa, Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe with Nomad Adventure Tours in my day-by-day series, I think it is only fair to my readers that I give you my thoughts about the company itself. I have made no attempt to hide the fact that I [...]

Nomad Adventure Tours: Day 20

September 15, 2012

I woke up bright and early- before my alarm. I had intended on having a big sleep in to the lazy hour of 8:30am.  Trust me, when you’ve been waking up before the sun even peeks up over the horizon, 8:30 is pure gluttonous luxury!  I pulled on my tights and t-shirt and made my [...]

Nomad Adventure Tours: Day 19

September 11, 2012

“Brrraaap brrraaap brraaap!”  My iPhone’s alarm function chirped at 5:00am on the dot. I remember making a mental note that I really had to change the ringtone that I had selected to wake me up – I was getting sick of hearing it, and it wasn’t making waking up in the pitch-black of the early [...]

Nomad Adventure Tours: Day 18

September 9, 2012

Waking up to the pitch-black darkness all around is something I’m not sure I can ever get used to.  This morning, unlike the majority of the mornings with Nomad Adventure Tours thus far, I found myself barely able to see a few feet in front of me, inside my canvas tent.  It was 4:30am and [...]

Nomad Adventure Tours: Day 17

September 5, 2012

Our final morning the Okavango was spent getting right to work at taking down our tents, organizing our personal belongings and repacking the mokoros accordingly.  Shaun and I shared the mokoro yet again and made ourselves comfortable sitting atop our sleeping mattresses. By now we had grown used to the movement of the mokoro on [...]

Nomad Adventure Tours: Day 15 & 16

August 31, 2012

“Shoot!” I muttered as I realized I had locked up another vital item needed during the next two days of bush camping in the Okavango Delta.  Since hopping out of my sleeping bag as soon as I heard my iPhone’s alarm function “brraaappp, braaaappp, brraaapp” in my ear, I had been running around from my [...]

Nomad Adventure Tours: Day 13 & 14

August 27, 2012

Waking up in Windhoek was especially nice – not only having the luxurious king sized bed, but knowing that we were going to be treated to a breakfast that was a touch fancier than we had grown accustomed to since living on the truck for the past 12 days was something I’m sure that the [...]

Nomad Adventure Tours: Day 12

August 20, 2012

Waking up on the last morning in Etosha was both peaceful and sad at the same time.  Coming all the way to Africa and being the animal lover that I am, I was in my glory being in the national park, witnessing so much beautiful wildlife in their natural habitat.  It was really sad knowing [...]

Nomad Adventure Tours: Day 10 & 11

August 12, 2012

When you think of traveling to Africa – what’s the first thing you think of seeing? For me, that thought would instantly be “safari.” Day 10 marked not only the halfway point on our journey from Cape Town to Victoria Falls, but it also marked the day we would be going to our first national [...]

Nomad Adventure Tours: Day 9

August 9, 2012

**NOTE: This article contains pictures depicting slight nudity** On day 9 of my overland tour with Nomad Adventure Tours, I woke up to the sound of nothing.  As I lay there in my sleeping bag, I opened my eyes and glanced out of my tent’s window flap that I had left open the night before.  [...]
