Before we left for Namibia, we didn’t want to get our expectations too high just in case the animals had other plans. But as soon as we arrived, we saw massive herds of elephants passing our car, spent the nights by a waterhole watching rhinos, and found lions resting as the sun got higher. We drove across the entire salt pan in Etosha National Park and then explored the dunes of the Namib Desert. The trip was far beyond anything we could have imagined.
