[gentle music] Welcome to the Howie Game Safari Diaries, a new podcast where I'm taking you off the beaten track to some of my favorite, not so typical travel destinations, and giving you some tips and tricks to help you get there yourself. This is part two of our family trip to Southern Africa. Now, if you've missed part one, don't worry, go back and check it out in the Howie Games feed. But now, let's get stuck into part two, and we'll pick things up in Namibia, where we're lost in Namibia. [gentle music] [engine rumbling] This is tip number 12, a GPS will only get you so far. Hello.
Speaker 00:49
Hello there.
Mark Howard· Host0:50
How are you?
Speaker 00:50
Good and you?
Mark Howard· Host0:51
So you're going to get lost. The only questions are, how many times you get lost, how badly you get lost, and what consequences you will be facing when you are lost. As soon as you lose reception, phone reception, out in the back of nowhere, which happens frequently, you will lose your GPS reception and then things start to get a little bit dicey.
Speaker 01:11
There is another gate for, uh, Ntshune Gate.
Mark Howard· Host1:15
Okay.
Speaker 01:16
You know Ntshune Gate?
Mark Howard· Host1:17
No, I've never been here before.
Speaker 01:18
Okay. When you drive here- Yep ... turn left next to the beer burger. You see that gate there?
Mark Howard· Host1:23
Yep.
Speaker 01:23
You must enter the gate.
Mark Howard· Host1:25
Yep.
Speaker 01:25
Follow this driveway until there. When you go straight, you'll find the Ntshune Gate.
Mark Howard· Host1:29
Okay.
