Hi everyone, I'm back again. It's been a while since my last entry. Today I want to talk about the most beautiful events that have happened since then. Starting with the visit...
We are back 😍 After a 09:45 h flight we landed in Windhoek at 08:00 The flight was pleasant and fairly quiet. If it weren't for the 250kg passenger behind us, who used our...
Namibia. On August 5th, I board the plane at BER. One last tight hug with Mom and Dad, check the suitcase (with 5 kg excess weight that I didn't have to pay for, yay) and then...
The trip back to Naankuse was terrible🫠🫠 it was way too hot in the car and we had to drive to so many different places in Windhoek to drop people off at the airport/hotel,...
At first glance when you look at the landscape you think it's Australia...if you look at it superficially, the Aussies also had flightless birds with long necks, but monkeys...
Since we couldn't find a spot for kayaking with the seals on Friday morning, we had a very relaxed morning. The hotel owner's wife is probably from Germany or at least has some...
Those who know me know: Without my bike, I'm only half a person 😉 And so my 'better half' had to come with me on the Namibia tour 2023. More than 80% of the roads in Namibia...
Start of the journey in Windhoek
On the farm, we arrived around 3 pm, so I didn't do any lunch activities. Of course, I stayed in the same tent (😍) and was even greeted by the cat. However, I had a roommate...
If there are any young readers of this blog who are now wondering: Who the fu#* is Johnboy and Mary Anne? Johnboy is not a Namibian pool boy and Mary Anne is also not a waitress...
Welcome to Windhoek on the eleventh of August 2018. After a total of 22 hours of travel and some problems with visas & co, we finally arrived at the Petersen family, who...
The car has been returned after a whopping 5000km, we have moved into our last accommodation. We are enjoying a simple and extremely cozy large apartment with a garden, letting...
After all the organization, we're finally setting off - and we're excited!! And also a little nervous, whether everything will work out with the PCR test and the different entry...
Drives (4.075 km) Host Bay - Vanrynsdorp (317 km) Vanrynsdorp - The Growcery Camp (397 km) The Growcery Camp - Canyon Village (183 km) Canyon Village - Lüderitz (407 km)...
18.11.-26.11. Actually, I wanted to write the next entry in Swakopmund. But in the last few days, so many things have happened that it's worth picking up the pen again. ...
On Thursday my good friend and neighbor Erik picked me up and took me to the airport. The flight to Jo'burg took about 9½ hours and after a movie and dinner, I was able to doze...
Honestly, I still lack a post about the previous week. Unfortunately, it's not finished yet because I'm currently having a hard time writing regularly. I thought it might be...
The time passes very differently here in Namibia. I couldn't say from the feeling if I've only been here for 10 days or maybe seven or eight months. Maybe it's because of the...
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...
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...
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...
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,...
allow me to introduce myself, my name is Lilli
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...
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...
I live here in Ludwigsdorf, Klein Windhoek, one of the good neighborhoods of this city. The living conditions here are largely 'Western', except for the fact that there is no...
