The Adventures of G & T in AFRICA

Month: April 2016

Finally a Place to Hang our Hat

The 36m high Boudhanath Stupa is one of the largest in Asia. It is the center of Tibetan buddhism in Nepal and one of my favorite spots to visit around Kathmandu #nepal #lovenepal #visitnepal #travelphotography #wanderlust #yourshotphotographer

Once you’ve seen the himalayas, you are pretty much ruined for all other mountains #nepal #lovenepal #himalayas #himalayasnepal #travelogotography #discovernepal #trekkingnepal #annapurnas #mountainlover

The endlessly fascinating Goroka Show - the oldest running “sing sing” in PNG which showcases the music/dance/culture of over 100 tribes from all over the country. It takes place over independence day weekend in Goroka- capital of the eastern highlands. #papuanewguinea #travelpng #lovepng #explorepng #travelphotography #wanderlust #discovertheworld #travelhappy #travelblogger #bucketlist #natgeoyourshot

Amazing faces of Papua New Guniea. So much history, so much culture. Such a privilege to see! #gorokashow #papuanewguinea #lovepng #travelphotography #traveler #natgeoyourshot #natgeoadventure #addictedtotravel #bucketlist #bucketlisttravel #photooftheday

I love nudibranches, flatworms and all things tiny and bright! Couldn’t even keep up how many we found in Milne Bay. The record was 22 in one dive 😄 #papuanewguinea #milnebay #tawali #scubadiving #scuba #dive #diveaddicts #diveaddiction #scubaphoto #scubalife #divephotography

Fantastical creatures found in Milne Bay Papua New Guinea : weedy scorpion fish / fairy crab / anenome shrimp / yellow leaf fish 😄 #diveaddicts #papuanewguinea #divepng #pngscuba #macrodiving #scubadiving #divephotography #muckdiving

The incredible desert adapted elephants of Damaraland. These elephants can go several days without water and survive by regurgitating water held in their stomachs. They take dust baths instead of water bath to keep cool and protect their skin #adventuresofgandt #namibia #damaraland #africanescapades #overlandafrica #elephants #elephantsofinstagram #explore #travelphotography #wanderlust #africaroadtrip #travelhappy

Wilderness Safari's Damaraland Camp was a sight for sore eyes (and sore bums) after travelling 250km with no shocks over 4x4 roads to make it there! #wearewilderness #damaraland #namibia #wanderlust #explore #traveler #travelblogger #livealifeyoulove

Heading south through the Purros Valley we found one of the mysterious "Lone Men" that have been hidden throughout the Kaokoland region by an unknown artist. We also found the horizon filled with mysterious mirages and mountains colored with amazing blends of red/orange/purples #namibia #natureisamazing #yourshot #traveler #overlanders #overlandafrica #roadtripafrica #wanderlust #livealifeyoulove

Our last night of bush camping at the southern edge of Kaokoland. I loved having the freedom to choose our own path and be completely isolated in the wild! Bush camping was one of my favorite experiences of the whole trip! #namibia #travelnamibia #starphotography #starstruck

Kaokoland Day 5: Faced with another challenge! One of the shocks snaps and knocks the rear spring out of place. We remove the damaged shock and get the spring back in place. Then, (can you imagine!) the second shock starts to show signs of imminent failure. To prevent it from snapping and causing more damage, Garrett tries to fasten it in place. No luck - this also has to be completely removed. Now we have no shocks!

Heading south out of Kaokoland you will pass Blue Drum and Orange Drum which over time have morphed into quirky art installations. At Blue Drum you'll find a "satellite phone booth"." At Orange Drum you'll find many knick knacks, a journal and a "fridge." We left a Polaroid in the journal and a beer in the fridge for the next adventurer passing through! #bluedrum #orangedrum #namibia #adventure #adventuresofgandt #wanderlust #overlandafrica #overlanders #roadtrip

More highlights from around the Kunene River #himbaland

The Himba culture is endlessly fascinating. They have maintained their semi nomadic pastoral lifestyle in the remote mountains of northern Namibia. Women cover themselves head to toe with otjize paste - a mix of ochre, butterfat and shrubs to cleanse the skin, provide sun protection, moisturizer, and repel mosquitos. #natgeoyourshot #everydayafrica #namibia #himba #wanderlust #travelphotography #travelblogger #roadtrip

The Herero people can be found in Namibia, Angola and Botswana. The distinctive traditional dress of Herero women includes a long gown, multiple petticoats, long puffy sleeves and most importantly a horned headdress that pays homage to their all important cattle #namibia #travelblogger #travelphotography #adventure #everydayafrica #natgeoyourshot #natgeotravel
