Travelogues Namibia

It was 350km gravel road from Sesriem to Aus, so even further south. We drove past our accident site. Back then (2001), a tire burst at high speed, causing us to spin and roll...

Brückendorf in Swakop

Once again, we arrived at our new camping site around 4 pm, which is right on the border with Angola ⛺️. That means we are in the very north of Namibia. Super super beautiful,...

Long drive

We saw a rhinoceros, fighting elephants, an eland antelope, and much more! Etosha is one of the largest nature reserves in southern Africa. It is about half the size of...
