The kid’s reactions are below: (Reis) Three things that come to mind when you think of cheetahs are Speed, Spots, and Super Predator. But what people don’t know is it’s not […]

(Reis) Step, Step, 1, 2. I’m counting the steps on the treacherous journey up Big Daddy. Big Daddy is one of the biggest dunes in Namibia at 1256 ft from the base! Sadly, it isn’t the biggest but it sure is the most dramatic. As youíve probably noticed, that is a pretty long walk. Especially […]
