Is there a recipe for falling in love with Namibia, in only 24 hours? Take a hiking safari to Namibia's touristic high-lights; mix a burnt-out journalist, twelve fellow-travellers, of whom at least one has a secret, and a fearless go-getter tour guide. Now add lions, hippos and untameable tourists. Gently fold in Bushmen, poachers and orphans. Season with a dash of drama and a pinch of romance. Enjoy an entertaining journey through the Namibian bush, where you'll discover much more than the wonders of nature. Anna Mandus has peppered her story with a wealth of anecdotes about the people, fauna and flora of Namibia, and it's European visitors.
