Our truck Imani runs with 6 tires, two at front and four at the back (two either side). The day we arrived in Sesreim we had two flat tires; we only have two spare tires. I asked Matt (the Driver) what happens if we’re to get more before we can get the tires patched or replaced the next day? He replied we can last if we lose two more at the back and if we lost one at the front then we would need to swap with one at the back. I continued, what if we lose 3 tires, he replied “we’re screwed!”.

I have known about the Skeleton Coast in Namibia for some years. I came across an article about it whilst researching a photography project. It is one of the most inhospitable places on earth with the northern section only accessible by small airplane. It is a desolate and barren desert landscape that has killed or wrecked most of what has touched its shores. Once I had read about it and saw some of the photographs coming from there I was sold, it was on my list of places to go (This is a random list not for your typical vacation!).
