Willem was the guide on my 9-day tour of southern Africa. Over the course of our trip, I grew to know and like him. He’s quiet, but runs deep, as you’ll hear. He works for Wild Dog Safaris, based in Windhoek, Namibia. I did the 9 day Delta and Vic Falls trip, but they’ve got everything from day trips to month-long excursions. (I didn’t get any discounts or anything in exchange for this. I just really liked Willem, so if you go, please tell them Willem brought in the business.) Special shout-out to my drunken comrades by the fire…
