The Big Trip

We woke up at 4 am on this day and drove directly to Dune 45 as soon as the gate opened to see the sunrise from there. Dune 45 is 95m high and very popular, so our driver broke...

Camp Gecko - Our favorite camping so far. We have a beautiful view from our campsite (also from the outdoor shower and toilet) towards the west. On the plain, you can observe...

Swakopmund on the coast is a welcome and refreshing change from the heat. Due to a cold polar current and frequent foggy weather, the coastal region is not tropical but...

We spent a night at the beautiful, but slightly windy camping site at Bambatsi Guestfarm and then drove for a long, long time through the rather barren landscape to see the rock...

Trips through the NamibRand Nature Reserve and along the D707 are definitely among the most beautiful routes in Namibia - such a different landscape than before. Amazing amazing...

Yesterday, when I arrived in Divundu, I actually wanted to refuel. But they didn't have any diesel in the whole town... In the evening, they would expect the diesel truck and...

Today's stage, with over 500 km, 400 of which on rough gravel roads, was not really planned. The lodge was also not well chosen, as it is 60 km away from the entrance to the...

After sleeping for a few hours, I was awoken by a sudden jolt from the stewardess. She handed me a small cup of water. I saw that my parents, as well as Jan, were still...
