Travel Blogs from Windhoek, Namibia
Into the Namibian Desert with the Pastores
This is a top pick! ... two of us got on our first bus in South Africa and rode 20 or so hours up to Windhoek, the capital of Namibia. Windhoek is a pretty mellow place, about the size of Kalamazoo. We spent a few days getting organized there (including a hot, dusty walk to the ...
Welkom by Namibië!
This is a top pick! ... of a place had a swimming pool and a patio bar. This is where I spent all my time at the Box. Swimming and drinking Windhoek, the local, quite delicious brew, for all of 80 cents. Since Namibia is the only former German colony in Africa, these guys know ...
Game Steaks...Flintstone Style + new Brit slang.
This is a top pick! ... Supermarkets and trendy shops. Definitely not what I was expecting when I pictured what Africa would be like, and the capital of Namibia, Windhoek, seems more like the suburbs of Denver, Colorado than southern Africa. Last night, we had dinner a fancy ...
Namibia
This is a top pick! After 9 days in Namibia, tomorrow the last, Windhoek, I am trying to sum up what I feel about the place. Due to the fact that vast areas have (little or) no population, and also because of the way we are travelling - as a group, self-supporting, camping - ...
The Capital
This is a top pick! Our next stop was to the capital of the country. We enjoyed a few days of shopping and eating ...
Guide: "we will see lots of animals but if ...
This is a top pick! ... : "Find one.... Very fast!" It's me again - funny about that since it is my journal. Well we have just landed in to Namibia after a 5:30am start - very early. Well the last couple of days have been great - spent 2 night out in the Okvanko Delta bush ...
A dingo stole my baby!! hang on i mean a ...
This is a top pick! ... from Spitterock which is the equivalant of Australia's Ayres Rock. A huge rock sculpture in the middle of the dessert. The whole Namibia desserts are amazing - everything changes as we drive along (even though I sleep alot of it - have to get rid of ...
German Africa
This is a top pick! Windhoek, the capital of Namibia, is not wonderful at first glance. It's a city, it feels transported straight from the West, and there's really not a lot to do. After a wander it grows on you a bit, but there's still not a lot to do. We ...
What STILL NO Luggage? & Car Hire Dramas.
This is a top pick! ... Namibian authorities. After this the bus drove on through the night, with not too many stops, and eventually we arrived at Windhoek, the capital of Namibia, 18 hours later at 6.30am and very pleased to get off the bus at last. We found a cafe ...
Namibia
This is a top pick! Hi Guys, You can read our update from Namibia in our entry from Cape Town, South Africa entitled 'Cape Town at Last!!!'. Cheers, K & ...
I know this is very cliché and all but i ...
This is a top pick! I know this is very cliché and all, but I think I have seen the highlight of the trip so far, the desserts and dunes of Nambi Dessert! Words cannot explain the amazing sights (sunrises and sunsets) I have seen for the past couple of days. But I ...
Discovering Windhoek
This is a top pick! ... comes back with info. The city is only 3 blocks away, so we walk there for lunch. It are looooong blocks!!! Like almost whole Namibia: Windhoek is German! The owners of our pension are German (as are the guests), the pubs are German and so is the food. ...
Wayward Luggage Returned!
This is a top pick! ... it finally happened - a reunion with our luggage! We left Swakopmund very early and found it quite a picturesque journey back to Windhoek, We chose to take the sealed road all the way rather than the shorter unsealed route. Eerily there were quite dense ...
Laziest New Year ever
This is a top pick! Hung around the swimming pool, had Simonsig Kaapse Vonkel, hung around the swimming pool and went back to Joe' Beer Garden for diner. There was not a lot open in the city, so it was easy enough. Even the diner came slowly. But that is OK, Dr T was very ...
New Year's Eve in Windhoek: Joe's Beer Garden
This is a top pick! ... a big glass roof in that street. It turns out to be a big GRASS roof. Silly me. 'Joe's Beer Garden. A trip to Windhoek is incomplete without visiting this unique beer garden!!! It is always packed with locals and travelers. It also has an excellent ...
Lazy day at the swimming pool
This is a top pick! We spend our day in and around the swimming pool. It IS very hot but there is a pleasant breeze and the pool water feels cold, though it is 27 degrees. Tony's office is at the pool, so internet and a swim are all at hand. In the evening we drive to ...
To the capital of Namibia: Windhoek
This is a top pick! ... hours away. A Wimpy! And it was very nice. Would you believe? We drive through the Tropic of Capricorn! We arrive at Windhoek late afternoon and find the pension easily. Thanks to the trusty navigator, of course! We are surprised to find out ... it ...
Premier camp près de Windhoek
Arrivée à Johannesburg le 2 aout; quelques flocons de neige. Correspondance pour Windhoek. Départ en 4x4 pour notre premier camp, un peu plus au ...
Visit to the Bushman's paradise!
From the vast grasslands of Etosha we continued on to the desert area that Namibia is known for. We spent the day in the truck (which by now we were all used to) and just before we got to our campsite we stopped at a local school. The kids were waiting ...
Der Süden Namibias
Die letzten Tage haben wir im Süden Namibias verbracht. Die Tierwelt war nicht mehr so aufregend wie im Norden, dafür waren die Landschaften bezaubernd und die Leute gastfreundlich. Einige Campingplätze waren unglaublich toll und mit sehr viel ...
Arrival in Windhoek and Raleigh staff training
... doesn't look that far on the map. I hop, skip and jump from Auckland to Kuala Lumpur to Johannesburg and finally to Windhoek. I have a raging bout of flu and feel completely rubbish. Those round the world tickets have a lot to answer for. I arrive at ...
the red red dunes
... a hot pepper attached to it as décor on the plate. Strange. Very Namibian??!! Start: Sossusvlei, NAM. 5:00 End: Windhoek, NAM. 14:00 Distance Travelled: 472 km Road Conditions: gravel sometimes corrugated, then smooth paved highway Temperature: ...
Soussuvlei
We are WAY behind in the blog writing due to our time in Africa, so we are just posting some photos for ...
Experiences
... we can have a part in that equalizing. At least you know where to come if you want some good bible studies. to NAMIBIA! Maybe we can get a field trip going next year. (get it? "field" trip? Ok, sorry, that was bad...) on that ...
Another new country - Namibia & Windhoek
... for hundreds and hundreds of kms along the roads too -- apparently there are huge private game parks all over the country. Windhoek feels a lot like Tucson, if Tucson was influenced by Germans instead of the Spanish (Namibia was a German colony). ...
Namibian desert exploration
... endeavor I will do my best to chip away at my pile of awesome travel pictures. Until then, Im off into the vast, remote interior of Namibia and will return south along the Skeleton Coastline and back down to Cape Town. Should be a unique ...
"Further" with Thelma & Louise ...
... little stronger at the 2nd counter. Maybe that's what prompted the man from Budget Cars to phone another company in Windhoek (the capital) to source a vehicle - get this ragged looking couple away from the counter as quietly and quickly as possible ...
A Night OUT
What a culture shock! Crossed the border and made a B-line for Windhoek (vind-hook), the capital of Namibia. Craziness. This doesn't feel like the Africa I've seen to date. As a former German colony, things feel quite ...
Sunrise over the Kalahari Desert
... (civilisation) for many miles. Another trip memory to keep are the many sunrises and sunsets I have seen. Windhoek, capital of Namibia, was the first modern city seen for many a weeks so hopefully a faster computer to use. ...
Good times in Namibia
... drove to the Waterberg plateau, a cool little place were we did some hiking up to the top of the plateau. Today we are in Windhoek for one night and off to Botswana tomorrow. Our truck is awesome, full of fantastic people and we are both having a blast. ...
