About Nefta
Nefta is an oasis town found in southwestern Tunisia. The town is close to the area's saline lake - Chott El-Jarid which generates an important supply of phosphates. Nefta is an ancient city bursting with its own unique character. Walking around the town it feels like you've stepped in a time machine and climbed out in Nefta when it existed hundreds of years ago.

Neft is a town that's serious about its date-growing and is rather famous for its palm wine made from the dates.

Nefta's neighbour, Tozeur is a tad more touristy even though it's managed to preserve its medina where traditional old residences are hidden.

The highlight of my trip had to be Gweru in Zimbabwe, it was my idea of paradise. So much to do there with the animals and the location of it was just beautiful!

The trip was great! A very relaxed ride in a mokoro, followed by camping in the Okavango Delta and watching the animals on the islands was awesome!
