Camping under an African Sun

This is a family activity that I hold dear to my heart. Our absolute favourite family holiday is packing the car and heading into neighbouring African countries (Botswana, Namibia, Zambia or Zimbabwe) and road tripping and camping for two weeks. We settle in a new spot evry three days so see as much as possible. Every night we make a fire and have a braai (this is a traditional South African thing) and look at the stars, enjoying the sounds of the African bush, the cry of the jackal or the click of the geckos, we migth even be lucky enough to hear a lion roar in the distance. Our two weeks are spent off grid (no technology) in nature, coming across a few fellow travellers with whom we share a conspiratorial nod when we pass. The stars are out of this world, and the sunsets are worthy of poetry. I think it might be my favourite place to be with my favourite people. PS These photos are all our personal photos we have taken during our travels as a family.
