Entry 5 of 30 | show all | print this entry

Today we arrived in Tsumeb, a town in the north of Namibia. It was a very long bus journey from Livingstone, but the bus was confortable and the road very straight so we managed to get some sleep. This morning we are organising our own rental car to travel through Namibia over the next week. Tsumeb is a very civilised town - very structured, clean, a bit sleepy - there are lots of white people and I can recognise some of the language but I haven't established yet if it is Afrikaans, it is very close to Dutch anyway. We are looking forward to hit the road - good quality tarmac roads for a change! We are heading to Etosha National Park this afternoon and will stay at Halali lodge in the middle of the pan where we have good chances to spot elephants at night because there's a waterhole.We have heard about the result of the elections in Oz. Will be curious to find out about any big chances in policy over the next months!

Hello Maman/Granny, comme vous devez le savoir nous sommes maintenant en Namibie. Nous allons faire une excursion dans Etosha National Park - notre derniere chance de voir des animaux sauvages en Afrique - cet apres midi. Ensuite nous nous dirigerons sur les bonnes routes Namibiennes vers le sud le long de la cote Atlantique. Notre prochaine etape sera Swakopmund, ou nous aurons peut etre la chance de voir des phoques! Avez vous recu mes cartes postales? Gros bisous

Hi David and Benj. I read your text this a.m. about your game watching experience around the flood lit water hole in Etosha Nat. Park and could only think how lucky you are . Since you have been in Africa you seem to have had such wonderful animal sightings. I hope you are keeping good notes because I think it is time for Andrew and I to consider going on another safari and I'm sure we could bene... show all
