So we entered civilization for a night in the place of Windhoek - the capital of Namibia. I seriously started to forget what it looked like. Well this town is nothing like Africa - more like a mini Austria. Very colonialised which sets in with its history. We had a very nice lunch - Pizza is Cheese on Toast if you ever get caught out here J We stayed in a backpackers here called Cardboard Box - was actually pretty nice. Megan and Meridith upgraded to get some ...

Hi guys. So we left all Bush Camps and entered our first National Park - Etosha. This is the largest Game Park in Namibia and is the size of Switzerland. We were really looking forward to this stop as it was one of the main reasons for booking this tour.Megan has not been too well - mainly sleep deprived I think! You know how she likes her sleep. So on arrival we went on a midday game drive and saw very little - it's the worst time to game drive really as it...

So this place was not called Dune Camp but I really can not remember the name of it :-( We camped up for a Braai - what the Southern Africans call a BBQ in a lovely camp site with a bar, pool and all the trimmings - very happy. And we headed off to another Canyon - this time we walked through the canyon - I felt like I was in the valley of the Kings it was a real experience. Early night as we had a 4am start which was a climb up one of the largest Dunes in Nami...

Off to Swakopmund, a small town on the coast - yay civilisation and a proper bed for 2 whole nights! On the way we visit Walvis Bay - although there is not much there a huge flamingo flock have a home on the beach and even though the morning was dull was amazing to see 3 different species of the birds togther. Dave also found a huge pink jellyfish washed up on the beach. Swakopmund is the biggest town for miles and altough small was nice to spend a few days aw...

We exited South Africa and entered Namibia - I am not sure what I really expected of this country as had no prior desire to go there. So we left the Orange River and crossed the border - yeah another stamp! First stop was a place I had never heard of before - Fish River Canyon - apparently its the 2nd largest canyon in the world! after the Grand Canyon - who knew? The landscape of Namibia is mainly savana so far, although we have seen numerous deers species lik...
