We arrived at Manuel Antonio, the town attached to the National Park of the same name, after another bad taxi experience in San José. We had to pass through, since we were travelling from the Caribbean to the Pacific Coast. There are separate bus terminals, though they aren´t too far from one another. The driver not [...]

White sand, coconut trees lining the beach and reefs near shore. Sounded good to us. The small beach town of Cahuita is on Costa Rica´s Caribbean Coast, about 4 hours from San José. The bus ride was uneventful, but slow and HOT. The fare was fair for what you got, but Costa Rica does not [...]

So if anyone hadn´t noticed there are a few photos missing from the very beginning of our journey. We were hosting our photos on a different website than we are currently.

Here, we were able to hand feed kangaroos, wallaby, emu and waterfowl, and we got [...]

Our morning game drive highlight was a close encounter with a lion. We had seen a few from a distance, including a male clearly annoyed his female companion had strayed so far. Around the corner, the same male crossed the road just in front of and then just in back of the truck. We got [...]

Our next camp was Halali, set in an area of dolomite outcrops and with it’s own floodlit waterhole. It was dustier and more spread out than Namutoni, and our site made for some rather large lumps under the tent.
Etosha’s wildlife was again truly remarkable. The park is much smaller than it was originally, but Lonley [...]
