Namibia – a review We were asked to visualize the track of the journey, if possible on a map. We are happy to comply and try to give a short review of our impressions. In Namibia, we were completely free in our decisions, since we had not pre-booked any accommodations/campsites, with two exceptions. If we […]
Liuwa Plain is still open Zambia was not on our list at that time. We had planned a trip for May to the South Luangwa Park. But then Dan from Mavunje Camp told us that he went to Liuwa Plain National Park in Zambia about 14 days ago. Guido could not believe what Dan said.

The Bwabwata National Park extends to just before Kongola and thus reaches an incredible size. The navigable part in this region is called Kwando Core Area and has its most famous area the so-called ‘horseshoe’. It’s a lagoon in the shape of a horseshoe. This lagoon is well-known for the elephants that can be found
Elephants as a Christmas present For Christmas Eve, a visit to Mudumu National Park was on our agenda. Camp Kwando is only about a 10-minute drive from the entrance, and so we set out in the morning, purchased a permit and drove about four hours through the park. The drivable trails are varied and the

Whether you have a chance depends largely on how many campsites are occupied. The boat cruises are the activity in the region! We had to wait until the
At Drotsky’s, the Vervet Monkeys were on the loose. These cute terrorists appeared in the morning around 06.00 a.m. and mixed up the forest. Their favorite pastime was to storm the treetops and chase at a monkey’s pace the pigeons slumbering in the treetops. These usually fluttered one treetop over, so this game could well
Bird watching at its best Drotsky’s Cabins was on our wish list very early. This lodge is visited for two reasons: birding and fishing. Right now it is not fishing season, and we are not fishermen. From RiverDance Lodge, thanks to Chris, we checked to see if they had any available campsites. When it was
From Ngepi Camp to Bwabwata National Park After leaving Chris and Pascale, we followed the B8 towards Divundu and checked into Ngepi Camp. The camp is pretty wacky, and we enjoyed ourselves and stayed here for 2 nights. On both days we wanted to visit the Bwabwata National Park. The B8 takes you right through
All is green – we are in the Caprivi! On our way to the Caprivi we arrived at Roy’s Rest Camp. We still pursued the idea of setting off the next day towards Khaudum NP. When we tried to find out if it had rained there recently – this would put the crossing in question
