A disturbed night. A Defender from Zimbabwe pulled into the camp at around 9pm and it took them an age to set up camp and settle for the night. There were two other families with very young children, one of which woke around 2.30am and the parents paid it no…
First up, Happy Birthday Wendy. Breakfast in bed and gift wrapped Channel #5 from Mike? 🙂 We would have been away from the camp by 9.30am this morning, only I managed to pump water into our water tank space, instead of in the tank, so that took some cleaning out…
Today has been a driving day. Not a lot to see or visit along the way, until we hit the town of Rundu. It has been 320k’s of hard slog into a strong head wind along boring very straight sealed, road.Sealed that is till 8k’s from our present camp site.…
Not a lot of sleep last night as there was a Lion, on the campsite, in a pen!! I’m sure it was crying all night to go back to it’s mates. There is something rather sad about these “Safari” Camps. I’m perhaps repeating myself, but they all want to compete…
The day started for us at around 5am. Our next door neighbours, a bus tour group, Nomad Overland Tours, were setting up for breakfast for their patrons. It was tough as I had been awake for an hour or more during the night when wifi is a little more effective.…

Another wonderful camp site. Our own ablution block complete with BBQ area….and a lush grassy pad to pitch the caranex on. At N$400(NZ$38) not cheap, but with it’s own security and excellent wifi, well worth the $. I had a brilliant sleep. You’ll need to know that..:) It was a…
Our night in the luxury B&B allowed us to update the blog also have a big bag of washing done and nicely folded. Getting in at around 3pm yesterday, and being a nice sunny day, I managed to do some work on Poki in the secure car park. Not long…
The cold windy front, expected at 4am, staggered in at 8am and from then, a beautiful fine, but cool day, out of the sun. Superlatives, overused, can be tedious, but you’ll just have to take our word for the scenery we are being treated to. The pastel colours of pinks,…
With Erica’s list of coffee and cake suggestions, Jen’s eye’s lit up and this morning we made our first stop at Helmeringhausen Hotel and Guest farm, where we put Erica’s recommendations to the test. The sign at the gate said ‘Best Apple Cake in the Namibia’. Well, I have to…
