The start of the adventure
As we landed in Windhoek after 26 hours in transit we thought there must have been a mistake. Apart from the Airport building you could not see any sign of habitation. It was like landing at Coober Pedy. The terrain was dry and arid, ...
Sand in every orifice/crack of my body
So today in Swakopmund we decided to go quadbiking (4x4 bikes) in the dunes just outside the city. The girls had their Sabbath so they were out of commision so Jamie and I made it a boys excursion. We got there and the weather was kinda crappy being ...

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 ...

Retour dans le véritable Afrique
Le nord est de la Namibie est beaucoup moins touristique. Par conséquent beaucoup moins développée. On a plus l'impression d'être en Afrique. On retrouve les cases de bois ou de terre, les vaches le long de la route, des arbres. Les rires des enfants ...
A Whiter Shade of Pale
... black faced impala, which are native to this area. We also see giraffes drinking at the water hole, the crimson breasted shrike (Namibia’s national bird), zebras, and, with only 15 minutes left in the Park, a male lion. It is largely a ...

The second most southern town in Germany.
... who's boss. On getting to the coast, we first went to Walvis Bay. It was weird to be back in a town again. Walvis is Namibia's biggest port and handles just about anything that moves in or out of the country. As such, it was pretty nice. So we ...
Good morning, We at Nam!
Spent today mostly at the canyon. It's the second largest in the world and people do 5 day hikes across the canyon. It's a bit nuts as you need to carry about 40l of water with you for that trip. Saw the canyon from Hobas (northern edge) and Ai-Ais ...

Slaughtering the Goat
So after finding "Heppa" and her mother, we decided to go to a Himba Village just a few kilometers along the river bed. I so wanted to try to find the actual village I stayed at 10 years ago, but it was probably 20 or so kilometers and it was already ...
Jacko Comes to Town: Part Deux
The next day I recovered my iPod about 20 feet from our campsite. My earphones were chewed up but the iPod was still working. Unfortunately as I write this letter the iPod is no longer working. Mr. Jack bit into it really hard and now ...

CAMPING DAY 13 Up real early today for our pre sunrise walk up Dune 45, so it was just a quick cup of coffee and off in the van 60 Km down the road to the dune. The walk up was good, if a bit tiring ( 3 steps up and slide one back). It took about 30 mins ...

The remote North

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 ...

Desert Dunes
Years ago, flipping through one of my National Geographics, I became intrigued by the people and landscapes of Namibia. I remember ochre-covered bodies gleaming in the sun, desert dunes stretching endlessly on. It was this memory that led me, somewhat ...
