Naive, sheltered and uninformed as I am I had not heard of a self-drive safari until inveterate mega-travel blogger Lesley Carter mentioned in her blog Bucketlistpublications.org she is doing one. Follow her travels at her website. Her first two posts on the safari are:

A quick Google brought this website to my attention:

What REALLY grabbed my attention was the photo diary of a couple who used the SafariDrive service for a six week jaunt. Amazing photos and explanations. I encourage you to browse:
What an incredible journey. I had no idea you could do this kind of thing in this day and age. I’m gobsmacked.

Hi John, yup, as a Namibian I can honestly say that it is still possible – check out my blog (A Namibian Travelling Namibia) or the blog of ATI Holidays… Namibia is probably one of the easiest and safest places ever to self-drive… Hope you make it this way sometime!

Thanks for the info. I like your bird pictures. The ATI Holidays site is great too. http://www.infotour-africa.com (‘Mericans don’t be shocked by the prices, I think they are Namibia dollars which are about 10 for every 1 USD. You can exchange the price by clicking on it. Very reasonable IMO.)

Wow, to put it mildly. I found your post about your first trip: http://cindyknoke.com/2012/12/01/kruger-national-park-photos-travel-tips-for-the-first-time-visitor/ . I think photographers, animal conservationists, and plain ol’ flora and fauna lovers should check out your website. (I see quite a few already have.) The photos are superb and the text is informative and educational. What a novel idea.
