Sonnenaufgang
… im IJaba Camp (etwas nördlich von Outjo) und einem morgendlichen Date mit Streifenhörnchen, Steinböckchen und Rotbauchwürger. Sunrise in Ijaba Camp (with wonderful African furniture) and my very private morning date with chipmunks, steenboks and a bird with a red belly (proud that I know the German Name 🙂 )

Der Motor kocht
Da mich das Hochladen von Bildern für diesen Blog, für Facebook und das Beantworten einiger Mails zu lange beschäftigt hat, hatten die anderen 20 Minuten Vorsprung. Nach 150 km, an der Tankstelle von Oppi-Koppi hatten wir sie wieder eingeholt. Um den Preis eines kochenden Motors. Auch später – als wir längst schon wieder sittsam im…

Break – Pause
Tomorrow we’ll cross the Angolan border. The real adventure starts. No idea when I can post again. Stay tuned! Morgen überqueren wir die Grenze nach Angola (hoffentlich!) und werden dann einige Tage weitab von einem W-LAN sein. Dafür tief im Abenteuer. Drückt uns die Daumen!

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

River Dance Lodge
After the 4 days at the Flamingo Lodge this has been our second location to relax. Three days at the Okavango facing Angola on the other side. Our spontaneous decision : We will follow the river during the next few days. …… Unsere zweite Erholungspause nach der Flamingo-Lodge an der Atlantikküste: Drei Tage am Ufer des…

Caprivi
Economists call it the fact of diminishing marginal Utility or Gossen’s First Law that makes us feel we have been long enough in Botswana now. Therefore we leave Savute northbound towards Kasane and re-enter Namibia at Ngoma Bridge border post. This “pad” had been a big adventure when we drove it three years ago in…

Invited to Home
An impressive event nearby Shametu: We spent half a day with the family of a Shametu employee. Grandma (real 21st century grandma with a mobile phone around her neck) taught us to prepare a full meal on the basis of Mahango (a very common type of millet), Mangetti nuts (from the mongongo tree) and some…

Waterberg
We continued our journey back to Windhoek under a Bavaria-like white and blue sky. Next stop was Roy’s Camp (creative decoration and an awesome WLAN). Africa is not only adventurous, sometimes it’s just fun – exactly what I need 🙂 Here I met Sigrid, not only an expert in bilingual blogging (www.lowlandcruisers.com) but even more relaxed…
