Namibia

When the first tour description reached us and I read the term guest farm, I first thought of a vacation on the farm. Not even close.

Trips to the Etosha National Park in Namibia offer a variety of opportunities to photograph the local fauna. The accommodations are comfortable and safe.

The access road from Sessriem into Sossusvlei is tarred, but after about 5 kilometers it continues on sand.

There are more animals in the large areas of the Namib than one would expect from the wide sandy desert.

The dune 45 is something special because it belongs e.g. to the few dunes in the Namib that can be climbed.

The red Namib desert shows many superlatives, e.g. it is the oldest desert in the world.

Today I once looked into the travel diary of Namibia and came across the entry about the Klein – Aus – Vista – Eagels Nest Chalets.

Spotted hyenas colonize large areas of Africa. They are also called spot hyenas and their outward appearance makes them strange

We are pleased that we have just made it into the top 15 in the geo-contest "Weird birds" with a photo from Namibia.
