who's fooling who?
This is a top pick! I want to tell you about the Himba tribe, the last traditional tribe in Namibia. I realise there are two ways of telling and am wondering which would do more justice. It's hard to say. I can quote the facts which I have here in front of me. I can't fault ...
Small Bushmen and Big Cats
This is a top pick! He Said: Heading into the northern Namibian heartland we drove to visit a tribe of San Bushmen. Prior to this trip Katie and I had the impression that there were still isolated pockets of people in Africa that lived by traditional ways and ancient ...

Are You Ready to Rock?
This is a top pick! Before we go any further, you need to know something about Namibia. It's big, very big. It's very dusty. There's not a lot of people here either. In a country this big, this dry, this barren, a lot of their attractions centre around rocks. It's that ...
Yes, I Have Now Patted Cheetahs Too
In the morning we were told about the story of someone who fell asleep at the waterhole the previous year and was eaten by lions who were wandering around the camp that night. They aren’t supposed to get in but had found, or made, a hole in the ...
A visit to a Himba Village
Before we set out to visit the Himbas, we were informed that they are nomadic and had just relocated! So we all ended up hopping on board to find them a few kilometers away! When we first arrived at the Himba's there was an abundance of CHIVOS. I made ...

A night under the stars

Y'a quelqu'un?
Je quitte mes nouveaux amis, Mirjam, Emiel et Clint (comme Eastwood) et Swakopmund à regret et tard. Mais je dois y aller. Je trouve le moyen de me perdre en voulant sortir de la ville. Après une heure de virage et de tournage, je suis enfin sur la ...
Palmwag - stressville

The start of the journey north
So that was Etosha – luckily it lived up to all expectations. When you have been somewhere once and loved it, it's always a worry to go back, in case it’s not the same. Luckily, as I said, it worked – in fact we saw more this time than ...
Himba Village
A few sorry looking campers the next morning as they got up, lucky for them it was bacon & eggs for brekkie. The other Gecko’s group were only just rising when we were driving out of camp for an hour drive to Gelbingen Lodge from where we do ...
Meerkat Manor (and hanging with the Himbas)

Himba Tribal Experience
... *the goverment does not provide any support to the Himba people because they think that the perpetuation of such tribes makes Namibia seem backwards... Highlights of the visit were Tenae teaching the kids cartwheels and dancing with them, a 16 year ...
Cheetahs make great pets
We had been told at the beginning of the trip we were going to be staying in a Cheetah Park for a night on the safari, but had absolutely no idea what to expect. A father and son currently live together in a house with 3 cheetahs (10 years, 8 years, and ...

My Grumpy Day!

Aba Huab Campsite
