ADVENTURES, CHALLENGES, AND INSIGHTS OF A COUPLE IN EARLY RETIREMENT
The places we chose to visit on our self-drive in Namibia all had some kind of significance. We visited the Kulala Desert Lodge next because of the red dunes. Our son had seen them while he was doing a study abroad program in Botswana and told us we should definitely see them.
After South Africa and Kruger, it was time for the self-drive part of this adventure. We flew from Kruger to Johannesburg and then on to Windhoek, the capital of Namibia.
Our first safari stop was in Kruger, South Africa, one of the places we missed seeing in 2019 when our trip was cut short. We had heard the Sabi Sands private reserve, inside Kruger National Park, was a great place for game drives and animal viewing, so that is where we went.
We used our extended time in Cape Town to also check out the Cape of Good Hope and southeast along the Garden Coast to the southernmost point in Africa.
We spent three days of our time in Cape Town in the Stellenbosch and Kirstenbosch wine regions near Cape Town. In this article, we want to tell you about the wineries we visited and the lovely lunches we enjoyed on the days we went wine tasting.
