Etosha trip with friends from Nebraska


The year has become so busy that we are scrambling to get items posted on the blog before we have too many new adventures. Recently, the chronology of blog events has not been in the right order, so we hope you can 'play along' as we try to add comments here and there as we have time.

When we came to Namibia, we knew the year would be divided into two sections--the mid-point being the time when our friends from Nebraska would come (May/June) and Larkin's parents would come (June/July). We had planned trips with both groups to different parts of Namibia. It seems the year is going fast, as the Nebraskans have come and gone, and Larkin's parents get on the plane to come to Namibia in a couple days.

The Pegg's and the Hygnstrom's are professional colleagues and friends from the University of Nebraska. We all work together and enjoy similar ventures, so it was no surprise when we announced our trip to Namibia that we soon found we would be having house-guests.

Our trip started with a trophy hunt, after which we went to the coast for fishing and dune tours, and then concluded with a trip to the Etosha area. It was hard to watch our friends get on the plane to head back to Nebraska, and even harder to keep Tristan from going with them! But, we thoroughly enjoyed showing them some of our 'finds' near Windhoek and on the coast, and we had a good two weeks' worth of adventures.

Wow. I'd love to go on Safari in Namibia. I'm working on getting myself over there!
