Africa...

Namibia

When we got to Africa we went first to Cape Town. This is the capital city of South Africa. We stayed there for 3 days before we met the people we were going on the tour with. We are going 11,000 kilometres across Africa on a big bus. The bus only has 16 seats on it. It is very big, very strong, and very slow! There is a lot of space to move around. In the bus we keep all the tents and kitchen things we need to eat. We have a driver, a cook, and a guide to tell us about all the things we see. I am one of the youngest people on the trip.

The first country we went to on the trip is Namibia. Namibia is a enormous country. It is nearly as big as all the countries in Europe put together. It is a big country but there are less than 2 million people living there. There are over 10 million living in Bangkok, and it is tiny next to Namibia.

Driving through Namibia in the bus is really hot. A lot of it is desert. Sometime we would not see a person, house or car for about 3 hours. Some places only get rain one time every 20 years. We went to climb some red sand dunes to look at the sunrise. It is a really beautiful place.

We went to Etosha Game Park and saw lots of animals. There were lions, elephants, giraffes, rhinos, wildebeest and zebras. We even got to see a lion hunt and chase zebras. We also went to a house that had pet cheetahs. We got to stroke and play with the cheetahs. Then we got to see wild cheetahs being fed. They ate small pieces of donkey.

I will put more pictures up for you to see soon. I hope you are all safe and getting ready for school.
