The Waterberg, about 300 km north of Windhoek, was our first stop on the tour with Friederike in October. The campsite was very natural and was our favorite until the end. Our...

The drive to Lüderitz today took about 4.5 hours and about halfway through, the landscape suddenly changed. The Namib Desert showed its face and it reminded me a lot of the...

Weekend trip to the coast with a visit to Walvis Bay, where the country's largest port is located and the sand dunes at 'Sandwich Harbour' merge directly into the sea.

A small sweet town in the middle of the desert. Highlights: the German names everywhere, the city's charm

The journey was a bit shorter than planned, taking 09:35 hours. And anyone who tells me that you can sleep on the plane, well, you won't convince me. Despite having a double row...

It took 2 billion years to form the canyon - we took a day to explore it - appropriate?

Unsere Reise hat uns heute in die Sanddünen der Namib nach Sossusvlei geführt. Der rote Sand rund um die ausgetrockneten Lehmfelder lädt zum besteigen ein. Doch so ring wie die...

Of course, we pay more than the local population in many places here in Namibia, whether it's the entrance fee to the national park or negotiating prices at the market. However,...

11:30 am Namibian time, which means 1.5 hours delay 😉. Salsa music in our ears. Let's start our 12-day trip to Victoria Falls, through Namibia, Zimbabwe, and Botswana. I'm...

Beginning of Caprivi Strip

On Sunday, it was a very relaxing day. Since the work is voluntary, I took the opportunity to rest. On Monday, I had to wake up early to do research in the reserve. We used a...

Today we fed the little animals and cleaned the enclosures. It was actually a pretty relaxing affair. However, the weather isn't getting any better and it usually rains in the...
