Big cats very close

Endless vastness, the southeast
The landscape from the vehicle, that's how we see Namibia when we drive. Namibia also has a lot to offer in the southeast. Of course, the endless long uphill and downhill runs near the border [...]
Cats and stones, the center
Visiting the project AfriCat was really touching. On the one hand side we love the beautiful leopards and cheetahs, on the other hand it is sad to hear the stories of the experiences these cats [...]

To park Globi

Etosha Pan 2/5: The Small
Not only the big five are well worth seeing, even the little ones know very well what life makes lovely!
Etosha Pan 1/5: The Big
The Etosha Pan is almost like a zoo for vehicles. We have learned that there live many wild animals, which are larger than we are! As it is with all creatures of course first [...]
The North and the Himba
In the north, we visited the last nomads of Namibia. Their way of life is very simple; wealth is defined by the size of herd. On special occasions, a goat is slaughtered, we were [...]
Coast North Namibia
At 10 cm distance, a pelican appears pretty big. If seals stench could be spread via video, we would have to dissuade you from looking this video.
Itinerary
Gravelroads like rollercoasters
During our third Namibia trip, this time through the East, we discovered a completely new Namibia. Mainly Farmerland with appropriate infrastructure. On our overview map we have entered with waypoints all detailed information about the [...]
Best dirt road
Along the Okavango, the earth road D3402 runs parallel to the tarred B8. The D3402 is much nicer and close to the river in the best quality along many villages.
