Courage to swim in the Okavango?
Lore decided to stay in the pool … … as Okavango (like Cunene River 2 weeks ago) is not recommended for swimming. Unless you are a hippo: Unfortunately nobody told the cow … Bitte dieses Feld leer lassen We don’t spam! Read our privacy policy for more info. Prüfe deinen Posteingang oder Spam-Ordner, um dein…

Blue Moon
Sometimes a moonrise is even more romantic than a sunset

Tsodilo Hills
We made an excursion to the “Tsodilo Hills“. Because of its unique rock paintings and its spiritual significance to the San people it became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001. Over 4,500 rock paintings at the site were created by San and Bantu people. Über 4.500 Felsmalereien erwarten uns im „Louvre der Wüste“, das von…

Okavango River
We remain loyal to the Okavango River – not only because of breathtaking sunrises. Wir bleiben dem Okawango treu und folgen ihm ein Stück nach Süden – nicht nur wegen der atemberaubenden Sonnenaufgänge (05:38!!). The Okavango begins in Angola, crosses Namibia in the Caprivi strip and then flows into Botswana where it empties into a…

Botswana
We arrived in our 4th Sub-Saharan country: Botswana. With its 2 million inhabitants the country is (similar to Namibia) one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world. It ranks very high (good) in Transparency’s Corruption Index and it ranks also quite high (negative) on a very sad calculation: Botswana has one of the…

Back home? Namibia!
After two weeks in Angola we came back to Namibia. Our next goal is in the east … With a stop in „Sachsenheim“ and an 8 hour tour on a tarmac road (how boaring!) we arrived in the River Dance Lodge located at the Banks of the Okawango

Angolan People
The main asset of this country and the main reason to visit: Angolans. Always friendly, always smiling (even for the policeman it took only an hour …) always willing to communicate. The only thing that could be better is our Portuguese.

Angolan Animals – The Little Five
In Angola you hardly see a gazelle, not speaking of the famous African Big Five (lion, elephant, rhino, leopard, buffalo). All the animals tourists would love to see had been killed during the civil war as people were starving. We will find them in Namibia or Botswana. In Angola we were happy with some „Little Five“. The…
