Grootfontein to Ngepi Camp
/0 Comments/in Africa, Namibia, Travelogue /by allanMy journey through Africa to date has had a certain rhythm to it. Largely dictated by the holidays and the usual encumbrances that come along with landing on a new continent, I’ve found that I’ve had more days in Windhoek than originally planned and added to the week I spent in Swakopmund and the more […]
Back To Base Camp and Doc. Windhoek Again.
/1 Comment/in Africa, Namibia, Travelogue /by allanWe managed an early start and planned to ride through to Windhoek hoping to be at the car rental place prior to 5pm to avoid paying for another day. Back on the paved part of C41 for 60km and then south on C35 we drove about 70km of typical but good Namibian gravel. Passing though […]
Quest For Water In Kaokoland. Back In Time With The Himba
/1 Comment/in Africa, Namibia, Travelogue /by allanThe small settlement of Opuwo sits just south of the Angola border in Namibia’s Kaokoland.

Barely leaving our campsite we were treated to a wildlife show that unfolded slowly in front of our eyes. From the sunset atop the castle-esque tower complete with gangly giraffes as drifting silhouettes on the horizon to a show of rhinoceroses, elephants, springbok […]

Note the Rhino. Why the long face? A Red Hartebeest on his knees and Springbok share a drink from the same pool. Catching a little cat nap after an early morning catch. Martial Eagle keeps […]
Windhoek to Okaukuejo – Etosha National Park
/1 Comment/in Africa, Namibia, Travelogue /by allanIn preparing for our road trip to Etosha National Park it occurred to all three of us motorcycle travelers that we’d be afforded a few luxuries that we don’t get when traveling by bike. First, we could bring a cooler and keep food, drinks and wine cool from the scorching heat of the harsh Namibian […]
