Southern Namibia - Dunes and Desert

South from Swakopmund we drove through the Namibian desert-dunes. Amazaing micro-wildlife with lizards, chameleons and beetles living in the most harsh environment. Hiked through many beautiful landscapes including Soussessvlei (largest sand dunes in the world).
Namibian people (mostly Germanic or indiginous) were very friendly. In the middle of the desert we got a flat and found the patch from our previous flat had also failed! It was near dusk and there are NO cars on these roads. We were facing a night in the desert! Luckily had a weak rented cell phone signal and Johan Frank Schultz (I love this guys name) from a nearby guest farm came out to rescue us. We stayed at his place and had wonderful stay.
Wildlife is "farmed" in Namibia so after viewing there was eating... Springbok, Oryx, Ostrich, Kudu, Warthog and Gemsbok were all consumed in steaks or amazing Billtong (African beef jerky). See and eat, just like the lobster tank!
