Okonjima, Namibia: 18th September 2009


This morning we were back to wire coiling and in the afternoon we had a game drive and took some beers up to the ‘Zen Garden’ for sunset.

The Zen garden is an area of lawn on top of a hill overlooking the whole reserve. A couple of years ago a friend of the family that own the reserve was told she had three months to live due to cancer, so they laid out this lawn and let her camp on it with a Buddhist monk for her last three months to prepare for the end. They’ve left it as a place for people to come and watch the sunsets as it really is a beautiful spot.

Whilst up there we rang our niece Soraya as it’s her 6th birthday and we all sang happy birthday too her, then returned to the camp where Matt and I cooked a fab chilli con carne on the fire!
