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
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.

Marius Steiner and ‘Camp Aussicht’ Marius Steiner, born in Namibia, came 35 years ago to the place where he runs ‘Camp Aussicht’ today. The trigger was land that he leased to search for dioptase. He has been running a mine since then and also offers guests the opportunity to enjoy the sensational location, discover a

From Khowarib we drove to Sesfontein, a small town with a gas station that sometimes has diesel and sometimes not and a store where sometimes there is more and
