Dinner with Lions: Coarse stories from Namibia where adventures are born
About this ebook
Safari owner and tour guide (Doc) Henschel is planning a trekking expedition on the Brandberg, Namibia, Africa with his friend and absolute outdoor newbie Stefan ‘BeeTwo' as well as two Damara Bushmen friends Collin ‘!Uiseb' and 'Jonny B Good'. The isolated and 600 square kilometers and 2500 meters high Brandberg massif is located in the middle of the oldest desert in the world (80 million years), the Namib. This safari through little-used off-road tracks to the 'mountain' and beyond is spiced up by stories of the past 12 years Namibia. Henschel introduces the reader to another world where usual stereotypes and perceptions are inapplicable. In Namibia, many tribes live with their own cultures and languages, including the 'whites' who, of course, see themselves as Africans. Namibia is desert land, but with 6,000 different plant species it has three times more than Germany and one third of the USA. In addition, Namibia has the entire spectrum of African game, which ‘runs around freely there', everywhere! Namibia has ancient deserts, sparse Savannah and dense jungles. It is a land where adventures are born. This reading has nothing in common with a soft-washed 5-star-African-farm-holiday far from the all-day African reality!

About the author
The scientist (Dr. Henschel) grew up in a village upon the North Sea. The bestselling author of books has written for magazines since 1982, too. After 28 yrs of martial arts and applied philosophy, he lives and thinks extremely and describes himself as a radical realist of the outdoor scene. He is a survival specialist of a different kind. For him, traveling does not consist of start and destination, but the between. Only a few adventurers can incorporate science and philosophy into the texts like him.
