In our last three days we have to cover the approximately 1000km back to Windhoek. So that this becomes no pure Fahrerei, we plan three stopovers: the east and west part of the Bwabwata National Park and the Waterberg Plateau. In the Bwabwata we get the last place in a great camping site directly on ...

So we decided to leave the lonely desert of the Damara and Kaokoveld in the northwest of Namibia on the left – which would have been the clearly more relaxed variant and is also made by most Namibian travelers – and instead to cross the border to Botswana and Zimbabwe via the “Caprivi Strip” in ...

We plan to drive from west to east through Etosha National Park and stay overnight along this route at campsites in the park. This will give us three full days for our first safari without a guide, and the tactic is actually quite simple: Etosha is littered with natural and artificial waterholes, so the animals ...

The way to the world-famous Etosha National Park leads us first to the so-called “Skeleton Coast”, whose name  is due to the numerous shipwrecks in this area. Besides a few small wrecks on the beach, however, there is relatively little to see of them and we lack the motivation for a sightseeing flight over the ...

Our next stop is the Spitzkoppe National Park, we arrive in the evening and look for a nice campsite directly at the foot of the large Spitzkoppe. The park consists mainly of red rocks in all possible formations and is therefore of course a paradise for nature lovers, hikers and climbers. The hike up the ...

Namibia is about 2.5 times the size of Germany, but with 2.4 million inhabitants one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world. Accordingly, the distance between two towns can be several hundred kilometers by car. Sounds boring at first, but since the landscape changes almost constantly and animals appear again and again – ...

The following two days we spend in the national park of Sossuslvei, which is known for its unique high, red dunes – depending on the measurement type they are even the highest dunes in the world. When we arrive around noon at the campground at the park entrance, we also come across the first traces ...

Lüderitz is a settlement and port on the Atlantic Ocean that is known for its Art Nouveau architecture – in fact, it literally came out of nowhere during the German colonial period around 1900. However, it made a name for itself during the German colonial period as a diamond stronghold. A German engineer found diamonds ...

After Peru and Colombia, we are still fresh in South America fever, but the attraction before the start of the semester to get back on the plane is too big and so we just can not resist. However, we don’t want to go directly back to South America, but would like to try out the ...
