How to spot a lion in Africa by PRLP

It took me

1 day

It made me

speechless

"Surreal, but nice. "

How I did it: I took a trip to Namibia, because my cousin was getting married over there. A couple of days after the beach wedding, which was breathtakingly beautiful, we went on a daytrip to Etosha national park. 

About an hour later we're 2 meters away from two BIG SCARY lions. 

Lessons & tips: -Air Namibia has the cheapest tickets. Air France has the comfortable planes, so that's your choice. I took Air france. 

-Go to Etosha if you want to spot lions. There's a chance you won't get to see any, but atleast there's not a zoo-feeling about the place. 

-Keep your hands in the car. i got yelled at by my cousin for sticking my camera out of the window.

- Don't be fooled into taking a 'convertible' jeep to etosha. It's very windy and you'll be eating dust all day long. You NEED a roof and windows.  

Resources: * My cousin (who works at the Epacha Resort, plug plug)

* Caprivi Car hire for a decent car. 

* Air France

* Epacha Lodge
