The Full Story
About us
We are Nadia & Maarten. We’re a Belgian couple and we’ve been travelling to Southern Africa for over a decade now. Most of our trips have been overlanding Tours in Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and South-Africa. Why Africa: “we honestly can’t pinpoint it exactly, but Africa has a magnetizing attraction to us that makes us come back over and over again. I guess it a combination of the purity of nature, the people, the unique light, the smells and sounds of the bush, the sense of adventure when driving around and not knowing what you’ll see behind the next knob-thorn. It’s that feeling of not being pampered by modern technology, the feeling that you need to rely on your situational awareness again, the knowledge that a bankcard is just a piece of plastic with zero added value….The feeling of cooking a nice meal in the evening on an open fire, enjoying a glass of wine while hearing a lion roar in the distance is just pure magic. Just living by the rhythm of the bush…there is simply no activity that makes you feel more alive… You get that connection with true wilderness that is impossible to find in “our” daily life ...”
