Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe are great places to "take a sip" of something extraordinary and out of complicated Western life... I plan to go back there one day... And it is safe, though probably better to go in good company of friends...
During the trip I discovered great artist Johnny Klegg, who has some great music mixing traditional zulu, african music with more of the modern pop and rock. His music is great amplifier of the feelings that take over observing the beauty of Africa..
