Before joining the corporate airline world, my husband and I did bush flying for 12 years in Namibia, Angola and Botswana. Now that our girls turned six and seven, we were ready to explore Damaraland differently this time – from the ground with our Amarok and camping trailer.

Namibia is a large country, size does indeed matter, so driving and being on the road will be part and parcel of travelling (and bird watching) in this vast and beautiful country. To get to the different hotspots for birding you need to do the travel thing (remember slowness), be it by car, boat or on foot, although I must confess Namibians are not known for the foot thing.

Brandberg, Dâures or Omukuruvaro is what the granite inselberg and highest mountain in Namibia is called by the locals who live around it today. It quite literally means “burning mountain”.

Namibia's diverse landscapes offer a range of climates and experiences throughout the year. Whether you're planning to explore the deserts of Sossusvlei, the coastal towns, or the wildlife-rich Etosha National Park, timing your visit can greatly enhance your experience.

In my opinion the road from the coast to the Naukluft Campsite of Namibia Wildlife Resorts (NWR) is among the most visually charming drives in Namibia. Coming from the mostly misty coast and making your way into the sunshine of the dry, dusty desert is experiencing the diversity of Namibian landscapes first-hand!

Through the ages explorers have inspired mankind with accounts of their travels. Those with an adventurous spirit who read about these journeys were enthralled and tempted to travel and experience far-off places for themselves. But alas, that was an impossible quest except for a fortunate few.

How does one describe that moment when you shoulder your backpack with everything you think you need for the next 4 nights and 5 days? And the feeling when taking that first step into the awe-inspiring Fish River Canyon. A step into an unfamiliar world. Is it fear, excitement, anxiety, eagerness, adrenaline, or just blank emotion?

What can be more endearing than the sight of babies? Let me try: Wildlife babies! Springtime is upon us, and the Etosha National Park has experienced a prolific rainy season this year, lasting well into April and an important contributing factor in ensuring plenty of water, food and shelter for a healthy baby boom. Antelope, wildebeest and zebra are able to delay giving birth to their offspring until the conditions are just right, and right they certainly are.

One of our favourite activities every year is the annual vulture tagging. We have been participating since 2016, at which point one child was two and the other five. The first time we joined this outing we hadn’t yet met everyone involved, but had made telephonic arrangements to meet the team at Sesriem.
