Synopsis

Neither Lucy Webb nor Teri Ford is a professional tour guide, but they certainly know how to find the adventure of a lifetime. In this travelogue and travel guide, the two women recount how they went from their staid lives in England to a wild expedition into the Namibian wilderness. Armed with open minds, a couple of tents, and a four-by-four, the two ladies literally traveled off the beaten paths and saw some of the most magnificent sights in southern Africa. As trained mental health professionals, Lucy and Teri both discuss the psychological aspects of such a journey and place their expedition in context with Namibia’s history and geography. While Namibia is still relatively unknown, its tourist industry is rapidly growing. The two explore the concept of sustainable tourism and different approaches to conservation in the region. In addition to providing thoughtful context and hilarious anecdotes about their time in Namibia, Lucy and Teri include some important travel tips to help you plan your own safari. Their adventure had some challenging obstacles but led to amazing experiences and revelations. They hope you grab a compass, a tent, and a four-by-four and head off to explore Namibia for yourself!
