Pandas in Africa: Namibia 2022

Our Namibia Trip

“Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before”. Dalai Lama

We have previously travelled fairly extensively trough Namibia, but in the North western regions, we certainly found places we have never seen before and places not many people get to see. This is mainly because of its inaccessibility and in a way, I hope it stays that way. It’s one of those places on earth that is fairly untouched in terms of the environment and the people who live in it.

We travelled 7650km from the south western corner: drove across the Namib desert, we dipped our toes into the cold Atlantic, climbed dunes, interacted with Himbas, crossed the rivers of the Zambezi region and left through the north eastern corner.

We experienced extremes: of weather, types of roads, scenery and people. The most beautiful sun rises and sun sets. We stayed in hotels and a tent. We ate everything from fresh oysters to dried mopani worms.

It doesn’t matter where you’re going, it’s who you have beside you. I am so blessed to have been given a lifetime of adventures. Thank you Gray for another unforgettable trip.
