Day 23/24

We did not have to get up early, but were awake anyway due to a combination of our altered biorhythm and 6 helicopters hovering over us at any one time. We had plenty of time to have a calm breakfast and pack our stuff. When we were having a final ...

Day 22

Although the stretchers in our tents seemed a luxurious addition to our camping routine, the night was not so good. The stretcher was not offering any support of the kind that my spine needed and in addition it was storming that night, blowing the ...

Day 21

We had another 4.45 start, but we only had to pack our stuff and clean the tent, because our guide and cook would pack up all tents, to ascertain they were proper and clean for the next group. We went on a game drive by jeep in Chobe NP and what an ...

Day 20

We had more than 600 km ahead of us, while we had an appointment for another “game cruise” at 15.15 at Thebe river near Chobe NP. This resulted in our alarm being set at 4.45, but as our guide had repeatedly pointed out to us, this was an ...

Day 19

Before breaking up camp, we would go on a short game walk on our own island with one of our guides. Not that many people joined and I was quite happy that those who did were relatively quiet during the walk. Unfortunately that did not last long. A ...

Day 18

We got up early, but did not have to break up camp(!) as we were staying at that campsite another night. We were poled to another island for a game walk. As we sat in the mokoros not being able to see past the reeds in front of us, we heard a hippo. ...

Day 17

When we walked to the campsite for breakfast we noticed a big pile of all the stuff that we were apparently taking with us to go ‘wild’ camping. A truck came to pick us up and we could not imagine that everything would fit in there. When the ...

Day 16

We had another long drive ahead of us and collected more stamps in our passports at the border with Botswana. I thought that this too went quite smoothly, we were even allowed by one of the soldiers to take pictures of the monkeys roaming on the ...

Day 15

On our way to the gate to exit Etosha, we saw funky looking bird that we had seen before, but did not know the name of. Six years earlier in South Africa, Willem and I had introduced the ‘vale kuif’ and here in Etosha, we christened this ...

Day 14

We made our way through Etosha to get from the Okaukuejo campsite in the south, to the Namutoni campsite in the east, passing the huge salt pan of almost 5000 km2 that gives Etosha its name (Great White Place), signs further on in the park explained ...

Day 13

We had opted for a full day of game drives in a jeep in Etosha. We saw a wide range of animals, both large and not so large, but all beautiful (including those that are so ugly that it was beautiful again). Etosha is quite dry, causing most animals ...

day 12

We had an early start, packing our luggage and tent while it was still dark. Despite having spent the previous two nights in a hotel, I felt this process went relatively smoothly by now. We had lunch at some kind of cheetah reserve near Etosha NP. ...

Day 11

We left Swakopmund and drover further north along Skeleton Coast, which judging from the cars with huge fishing rods, is popular for fishing. We stopped briefly at a place with a shipwreck off the coast, which was the first place where there were ...

Day 10

Despite the late night, we had to get up relatively early to have breakfast as Willem and I signed up for quad-ing that morning in the surrounding desert. Although the red color had disappeared from the sand, Swakopmund was surrounded on all sides ...

Day 9

Thanks to the rotation system that our guide proposed on the first day, Willem and I were sitting shot gun in the truck this day, which set me straight (or at least straight-er) about the quality of the roads in Namibia. From my window seats further ...

Day 8

We packed and left the campsite without breakfast, to make sure that we would be one of the first to arrive at Dune 45 in the Sossusvlei area, the iconic red dune that everybody associates with Namibia. And it is a good thing that we were so quick ...

Day 7

We continued our way early towards Sesriem. To sum up the day in short; we started in the middle of nowhere, drove for a loooong time, had lunch when we were NOT far enough, only to still end up in the middle of nowhere. I had not been sleeping ...

Day 6

After breaking up camp we went canoeing on the Oranje River, with South Africa on our left and Namibia on our right. Willem and I shared a canoe and discovered that in addition to hanging up lamps, (dis)assembling furniture and putting up tents, ...

Day 5

This was another day of a lot of mileage and this time the landscape got more and more empty. Unfortunately we had missed the African equivalent of tulip season by about three weeks, but at first a lot of greens had still remained, yet it would get ...

Day 4

This day was one of a number of days that we spent mostly sitting in the truck, making our way to a wine farm in Cederberg. We stopped once for some shopping and coffee, where I very successfully introduced carrot cake to some of our group members, ...
