And we'd go through the desert, so up the sand dunes and kind of a straight line, because rivers obviously meander.

And the sand dunes dropped at this 45-degree angle into the river.

And there were little footpaths from the animals, but it was hard work walking at an angle.

So we would then go up.

and then walk through the desert and then come back down in the evening.

So we only had one liter at lunchtime to top up our hydration.

Wow.

So it was an amazing experience not to get dehydrated because we had drunk so much water to start with.

And then we just did a top-up and then obviously by the end of the day we would do a massive top-up again.

So, in fact, I was in Sources Flay, this most beautiful place.

So when you come to South Africa, maybe you can piggyback a trip to Namibia because it's incredibly special.

It's apparently got the least number of people per square mile or square kilometer of any country.

That's very spacious and very beautiful.

I was sitting with a friend, and we happened to watch two Oryx bulls.

So the Oryx is this beautiful gazelle that is endemic to the Kalahari Desert, and they have metre-long horns.

But we were fortunately sitting with an umbrella over us, and the one was chasing the other.

And then we lost them.

They kind of went behind one of the sand dunes.

And then a couple of minutes later, these two Oryx bulls that are probably...

three meters, so that must be nearly nine foot high, literally run up, and we are sitting in their path.
