Über Sesriem nach Windhoek und zurück nach Deutschland

So now a delayed review due to lack of internet. After we were out, we continued to Sesriem. On the way, we freed a springbok that was caught in a fence and hanging with one leg up. We hope he is well...there has been complete drought in Sesriem since 2011. If it ever rains here, we'll book a flight directly. But the dryness also has its charm. On the first evening, we went on a sundowner drive like in Hummeldumm, for those who know the book. It was very beautiful. After that, we had a very delicious dinner at the lodge, where we could sit outside and grill. The next day, we had to get up early because we had booked a guided tour towards Sossusvlei. First, we climbed Dune 45. You should definitely not do that too late in the day because it gets too hot. Then we visited Deadvlei. There, the acacias have all died and create an incredible picture on the stones. We also encountered two oryxes there, which can withstand the heat and drought well. Near Sossusvlei, we had breakfast at a picnic spot. Sossusvlei is actually just the end of the former river. The next day, we started our last big leg. We wanted to go out for a small meal in Windhoek in the evening. We waited for a taxi for an hour...otherwise, we didn't like Windhoek that much. We visited the Christ Church and looked at the equestrian monument from above. Unfortunately, the botanical garden was closed on the weekend. We drove to a nearby nature reserve, which was very tiny. But we saw mountain zebras, kudus, a giraffe, monkeys, and an ostrich again. On the day of departure, we booked a township tour. It was more of a rip-off, but still interesting to see the people living in corrugated iron huts and huge pieces of meat being butchered at the market. We had no problem returning our car. The flight was pleasant as many seats were empty. We even landed in Frankfurt one hour earlier. It's pretty cold here, but we're still happy to be back home. The trip was wonderful, but next time we wouldn't travel for such a long period of time.
