I spent the past two months seeing tons of wildlife while visiting seven national parks, six states, and four provinces.

  • Sometimes I like to pet tame cheetahs. Cheetah Park sanctuary, Namibia.
  • Is this what you imagine when you think of Namibia? The coastal town of Swakopmund was founded in 1892 by German colonists. It is the most European-looking town we have seen in Africa.
  • # of planes I took off in today: 1 # of planes I landed in today: 0 My first skydive was thrilling. The flight up in the tiny plane with no door was nerve-racking, but once we jumped it was all fun and not scary at all. The feel of the air rushing against my face, the view of the Namibian desert... such a perfect experience.
  • Hundreds of seals reside at Cape Cross Seal Reserve in Skeleton Coast National Park. So much awkward mooing and belching noise coming from these animals. But they are fun to watch.
  • Dusk in Namibia. #africacolors #africalife #africatrip #africanature #igafrica #namibia🇳🇦 #exploringafrica #sunsetpics
  • The rhino is such a majestic animal. Sadly, they are being killed at a rapid rate, because their horns can fetch more than half a million dollars each in foreign markets. It was thrilling to see a dozen rhinos in the wild in Etosha National Park, all with their horns intact.
  • Breakfast is almost ready! Our group is split into teams that rotate chores such as cooking, cleaning. It has worked out well. Except the time the cooking team grabbed the wrong container and fried the french toast in dish detergent instead of cooking oil. Yum! #africatrip
  • When a group of 12 elephants emerges from the trees and walks right past your vehicle. #africalife #africawildlife #elephantphotography
