7. Dades Gorge, Morocco w/ @thecuriousescape

The Dadès valley is located in southern Morocco and is about 25km long.

On the road to the desert we stopped here. It looks like sweet bun to me 🙃 it’s actually the Dades Gorges. . . . Sur la route vers le désert, on s’est arrêté ici. Les paysages me font pensé à du pain brioché 🙃 . C’est en fait les Gorges du Dadès.

8. Ol Donyo Sabuk National Park, Kenya w/ @thekenyancamper

Ol Donyo Sabuk National Park is 65km from Nairobi.

One of my first ideas when I first started writing was a ‘how-to’ for #camping beginners. 32 blog posts (has it been that long?) later it remains unwritten, might be time for me to admit that maybe it’s not gonna happen?
