Namibia Condos Reviews and Rates

A vast, vast place...

What a phenomenally vast country Nambia is. You travel for hours and hours and hours along straight highways to end up in a smilier town to the one before and wonder why on earth people live there or what on earth people do there?!!   A short pit stop at the town of Grootfoetein (Big Spring/Fountain) in the northeast of the country gave us a small …

Self-drive door Namibie

In Windhoek hebben we voor 9 dagen een auto gehuurd. We zijn eerst naar het noorden gegaan waar we het Cheetah Conservation Fund hebben bezocht, om vervolgens door te rijden naar Etosha N.P. Hier hebben we 2,5 dag safari's gedaan waarbij we heel veel dieren hebben gezien. Bij de camping was een waterhole, omdat het ontzettend droog was kwamen …

Swakopmund

Our journey continued north along Namibia's skeleton coast, so called because it is the graveyard of so many shipwrecks. Swakopmund is a holiday destination for Namibian and South Africa's Western Cape holiday-makers and bills itself as Namibia's adventure capital. There were lots of things to do - quad biking and sandboarding in the dunes, deep- …

Quadbiking in an otherwise quiet town, 5 nights

Driving from Solitaire to Swakopmund was interesting. The landscapes were really simple, the roads were bad and there were no reststops in between. Wearrived in Walvis Bay for lunch, but the first restaurant of choice wasn't where it was supposed to be. The second one we didn't find, but luckily the pizzeria we ended up at had really good pizzas …

Swakopmund

After the rude awakening from the wind, the chance to get to our hotel (yes, hotel!) in Swakopmund, have breakfast/addictive hot beverages of choice and have a shower would be extremely welcome. So to be dropped for a presentation on what activities were on offer was already a bit of a blow, compounded by having the worst public speaker in the …

Oryx steak

Another long trip to Swakopmund but again the scenery was spectacular. I don't mind these long trips as the view is so great. Had Oryx and Springbok steaks for dinner at a nearby Italian restarant which was great.

Week 1 Namibia

I arrived in Windhoek last Saturday and then left on Sunday. I rented a car with a British guy in his late 50's and an American lady in her early 30's. It was an adventure to say the least. Our first stop was to Etosha National Park. It was a great park to see wildlife in because there are fewer trees and less brush than Kruger. I was able to see …

Guten morgen aus namibia we are now in the ...

Guten morgen aus Namibia... We are now in the former German province of Namibia where it is more reminiscent of a North Wales holiday town in the winter - bloody freezing! Since our last update, we flew in a very small plane into the Okavango delta having managed to go through the most farcical security check you have ever seen at an airport... …
