In the mountains

Unfortunately, it was drizzling when we started, so we went directly to the camp. On the way there, we saw a rhinoceros. The camp there is relatively cool, considering it's in...

Here are some photos taken during our visit to Etosha National Park (known in the Ovambo language as 'Great White Place'). The national park was established by the German...

With just over 300,000 inhabitants, Windhoek is considered a cozy city by German standards - about the same size as our previous home, Freiburg. However, that's where the...

We took a trip from Aus to the sweet coastal town of Lüderitz, 120km away. Before that, the kids had a blast in the ghost town of Kolmanskop, an abandoned diamond mining...

After 2 days, we left the Desert Camp and Sossuvlei and continued towards Rostock-Ritz. The gravel roads were really extreme, not for weak bladders :-) Along the way, we stopped...

Desert Camp Sossusvlei - Namib Desert From Kalahari Anib, our tour continued through the rugged desert landscape of the Namib. We drove through the gravel roads towards Desert...

We left the somewhat 'cool' Hardap Camp and drove through the small town of Mariental towards the red dunes of the Kalahari. Arriving at the Kalahari Anib Lodge, we were greeted...

Four weeks ago (on September 15, 2016), there was a big celebration at the school where I work. The school had too few classrooms to teach all the students at the same time, so...

After arriving here in Namibia, settling in for a week, and getting used to it a bit, we had school holidays. We thought we could use them to go to the beach. We rented a house...

After 24 hours, we arrived in Windhoek. The chaos in the Addis Ababa airport's transfer area was overwhelming. There were chaotic assignments to the individual control points,...

Hello, after our departure on September 4, 2024, from home via Münster by train to Frankfurt/Airport, we finally boarded the flight to Johannesburg at 10:00 PM. Christoph kindly...

At 7 o'clock we started our journey back to Neuras. The drive was actually really relaxed and we arrived quite early. Then everyone had lunch here and after that, those who were...

The week here was really incredibly beautiful and I feel very comfortable here. My tasks in the past few days were the K9 training (as in Naankuse), washing and brushing dogs...

After breakfast, I went to the meeting again for about 15 minutes, and I think I would still get lost by myself 🥴 First, my group had to help unload a truck filled with fruits...

Two weeks are done🥳 the homesickness is slowly getting better🥹 This morning, us newcomers went for Outside Feeding to get to know the animals and the area. It was really cool...

Originally, we didn't have the desert on our itinerary, but we rearranged the travel route and because everyone was talking about the dune, we didn't want to miss it either. It...

The drive yesterday from Sossusvlei to Swakopmund was relatively uneventful and with 350 km almost short. The only interesting thing was the car cemetery in Solitaire at the...

After almost freezing in Africa during the summer, I finally woke up at around 9:00 am in a comfortable 20 degrees. After a bit of back and forth, I managed to pack my things....

The first month has already passed and flew by 😊 the other volunteers have become friends for me and I am glad that they are here with me. Today, after two weeks of vacation,...

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...

As soon as we crossed the border, there was not much more than desert. It was really exciting to see how dramatically the landscape changed. It didn't take long before we could...

Departure today at 8:00 AM. Approximately 230 km over a little bit of asphalt and mainly gravel from Windhoek via Rehoboth to the Namib Naukluft National Park. We are staying at...

The journey back to Naankuse was dreadful😰 After we had been on the road for about half an hour, our driver stopped for the second time at the roadside. He got out, ran to a...

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...
