Northern Namibia

Anna and I simply loved Namibia. In the north we spent a day self-safariing in the world famous Etosha game reserve. We saw amazing things driving from waterhole to watering hole. That night we went to Outjo and enjoyed the best meal of the trip, dining on Oryz steak and Springbok carpaccio. Hmmm.

Windhoek, the capital was vibrant, safe and we saw Pirates of the Caribbean for a taste of home. We then moved on to the German town of Swakopmund on the coast where we stayed at a great guest house. With a German colonial past, the area is well organized with great food and infrstructure. During our stay we took a Living Desert tour to see the small animals of the mighty Namibian sand dunes. Chameleons, spiders, lizards and beetles all form a robust, but fragile, ecosystem in what seems to many as an empty land.
