Sadly, last week marked the end of Dan’s overland tweet on the 43-day Kenya to Cape Town - a BIG thanks to Dan for all the posts - we've been glued to the screen and dreaming of our favourite continent :) - but “Our Man In Africa” still has some great sound bites and videos to share with you – his advice to head out to the dunes, even if the morning mist and drizzle doesn’t bode well for great weather in Namibia!
Check out Dan’s complete “Around The World Travel Blog” and the full story below.

It is really interesting to narrate your experience here & share with others. People can arrange their tour to keep your views in their mind.
