The highlights
Every trip we made in the past was wonderful. We meet new friends, we encounter new situations and see new places. Here, on a nice terrace, with a glass of good wine and a fire on the braai we made a list of the special moments on this trip.
The meeting of the three leopards. A truly rare encounter;
In total we counted three mosquitos, of course all three bit Hilke;
The weather was amazing, except for two days, every day had a clear blue sky and was between 23 and 28 degrees. The nights were fresh but never too cold;
Making dinner on the braai. Just buy firewood and make your own fire and cook your dinner on it;
The wonderful red dunes in Sossusvlei and the amazing Fish river canyon;
A close encounter with a rhino and her kid. Too bad it happend while we were driving – it all went too fast to take photos;
The peaceful quiteness, at so many places it was so silent, with only the sounds of the nature and the wind;
Driving for hours without meeting a soul;
The wild life all over the country, not only in the game reserves;
The friendly people;
The clear nights with uncountable stars, with falling stars too;
The meeting with the elephant at night just in front of our bushcamp;
Sleeping in a little tent, knowing that the elephants are just 15 meters away;
The good food in the restaurants, especially the tuna in Swakopmund, delicious;
Everywhere, good South African wines;
The 4x4 roads, quite adventurous and definitely not suitable for Opel Corsas;
We drove almost 5900 km!!!!!;
And finally, your reactions on our travel journal: thank you!
Time to go home to our cats, our own litte piece of nature in this world.
