New Trekker Adventures In 1997, while doing an overland safari in South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe, and Zambia, our family fantasized about starting a Safari operation to Africa.  We dreamed about showing our American friends the wonders of Africa as we have experienced them over the previous 25 years of travel in Africa. While driving in the Kalahari dessert in Botswana, our son, Thomas, came up with the name "New Trekker Adventures", after the early pioneers in Southern Africa.  New Trekker Adventures was formed to fulfill this dream.
