Intrepid traveller Alison Roberts of Bury St Edmunds, UK, has written to Travel Africa with another excerpt from her action-packed Kenyan safari diary.
Dawn in Nakuru National Park, and the African savannah was waking up. The boys were eager to do a spot of game viewing but the girls were keen to catch another forty winks and voted to stay behind at camp. Never again will I opt for a lie-in ‐ not when there’s only canvas between me and the wildlife!

Mike and Lyn Seamons, the winners of our Namibia safari competition (Edition 28, Summer 2004) tell us all about their trip.
Thank you Travel Africa, our holiday in Namibia was an amazing experience during which we found ourselves doing things we never imagined. On arrival we headed straight for the dunes at Sossusvlei. Climbing Dune 45 to see the sunrise (no one told us that it would be freezing on top at 6am) was truly brilliant.

Submitted by Linda Stevens of Robin Pope Safaris, Zambia
August 2005
After two wild weeks haring around Namibia with a trio of friends, my
spouse David and I ‐ still with friends ‐ pitched up on the steps of
Robin’s House a week ago. It’s our fourth or fifth trip (we can’t
remember which) and a first for our friends, so our RPS nanny, Bean,
read us all the usual rules, including a new warning: “Try not to fall
asleep outside. There’s been an elephant walking around the past couple
of days, and if you wake up and see him…” The mere possibility boggled
the mind. |

Alison Roberts of Bury St Edmunds, UK, wrote in to tell us about how she and her husband survived a sticky situation while on safari in Kenya.
We had taken our car into Tsavo East National Park for a few days of relaxation. One evening we thought we’d go on a short game drive. But on the way back, we got a puncture. My husband got out of the car to change the wheel, while I kept a look out for lions.

Edition 30: Spring 2005
When holidaying in The Gambia, a little language-learning goes a long way, as Carmen Lee of Oxford, UK, discovered to her delight.
Getting to know people in The Gambia was my favourite part of our
experience. They are very friendly and welcoming, and it is no surprise
that The Gambia is known as ‘the smiling coast’.
