Tuesday, 3 June 2025 This morning Debbie and David were caught out by Angolan time. They were getting ready thinking it was almost time to head to breakfast when one of them looked at their watch and realised that it was 7.45am in Namibia and not 6.45am and almost time to leave … not almost […]

Monday, 2 June 2025 Today we departed the Etosha National Park for our journey north to the Kavango Region, a remote and culturally rich area of Namibia. We were on the road just after 8.00am, seeing springbok, wildebeest and cattle before we hit the B1 (main road) to continue north. Wian stopped at a bore-fed
Sunday, 1 June 2025 After I cracked it last night the IT Guy copied my documents to the Location ‘On My iPad’ so I feel a little bit more confident that my work is saving to somewhere in the iPad’s hard drive rather than in some ephemeral location that exists in cyberspace. I have everything

Saturday, 31 May 2025 This morning, after a fevery, headachy and congested night, I made the very difficult decision at 5.15am, that I was not up to going out on a full day game drive. While Bernie was getting ready to meet the others for their 6.15am departure, I swallowed two Panadol and re-set the
Friday, 30 May 2025 Yesterday when we checked in we were promised hot showers for our early morning departure this morning. Wian really wanted us on the road by 6.30am with a big day of activities and many kilometres to cover. Staff will be up at 3.30am to light the fires below your hot

Wednesday, 28 May 2025 Already super frustrated that I was a day behind with my travel diary after the Cape Town debacle here I am on Sunday night writing up what we did on Wednesday for the THIRD TIME. I first wrote about Wednesday’s activities before we went down to dinner on Thursday. When I
Tuesday, 27 May 2025 We were on the road again this morning making our way towards Swakopmund on the coast. Not long after leaving the Sossusvlei Lodge behind us, we spied a herd of wildebeest although I have just learnt from Google (checking for the correct collective noun) that they can also be referred to

Monday, 26 May 2025 Today was about exploring the Naukluft National Park area of the Namib Desert. This ancient desert has been in existence for some 43 million years and its current landscape has remained unchanged for the last two million years. It is considered to be one of Namibia’s most spectacular landmarks, with its
Sunday, 25 May 2025 This morning we were on the road just after 9.00am to leave the city behind us as we headed to Sossusvlei in the Namib Desert. After navigating our way out of Windhoek we travelled on the B1 to Rehoboth where we made a fuel and comfort stop. Soon after leaving Rehoboth
