We got up reasonbly early this morning to find (thankfully) a somewhat overcast sky. Perfect weather for a quick stroll through the wild fig tree forest nearby our campsite. We initially thought about doing a day hike at Naukloof, but because it is also run by NWR and because Johan (the owner of the Tsauchab.

This morning (Sunday) we were up at 4:30 to be ready to go to Sossusvlei at 5. It was a bit of a rush and the Swiss ended up waiting for us for a few minutes. Only later on the way back did I recall the story our Contiki tourguide told us about the Swiss.

As we were saying goodbye to the Swiss I spotted a tent peg we had left behind. I picked it up turned around took a step and bam a flash of light as I smacked my head into the pointy end of the tree (which was out of my field of vision due to the.

We spotted some wildlife on the way to sesriem. There was Gemsbok, Springbok, Zebra and even some Ostriches. The mountains are amazing, they all have interesting shapes and formations. I took a number of pictures along the way. When we arrived at the Sesriem campsite we met a couple from Switzerland. They we debating about.

Yesterday we arrived in a very windy Luderitz. The backpackers lodge was full. So we called a few other places and eventually settled on Kratzplatz B+B which turned out to be an excellent choice.

I got up at 5 this morning and setup my tripod and camera in a field behind our campsite and waited for the sunrise. The only sound to be heard was the chitter of the birds and a lone rooster trying to convince the rest of the world it was time to get up and.

We have just arrived at the Aquade campsite near Vioolsdrif. It’s a very nice spot. All the campsites have shady trees and we have a wonderful view of the Orange River. The first beer has been opened and the pool is calling…

I did not get that much sleep last night thanks to the humidity but we still got off to a nice early start this morning and hit the road at 7am. The excitement of the trip ahead started kicking as we left home. We made good time till we got to Piekenierskloof pass where a.

My brother and I are taking a 2 week road trip through Namibia next week. We will be camping mostly. I have created a page detailing the trip. It’s more a guideline than a fixed plan, but we hope to visit at all those sites with some stops in between. I have used the internet.
