Visiting native tribes is always a sensitive topic and we always have mixed feelings, as it is like somebody coming to our place and taking pictures of our life. On the other hand it is very interesting to see how the people are managing their life, especially in the rough […]

We were here already during our first trip to Namibia, about 12 years ago. A lot has changed since then, the road is now much better and nowadays the road next to the Cunene river (D3700) is also newly build and not a 4×4 track anymore. But the Epupa Falls […]
This is as remote as it gets, I would say. Marienfluss has been on the bucket list for a while already, but it is so far off all the normal tracks that it had to wait a while. The Jan Joubert Pass also know as Rooidrom Pass, the easier of […]

After about two years we are back in Africa, back in Namibia. Nice start at a remote place in the middle of nowhere again. Sitting at the Spitzkoppe at the fire in the evening, no noises around, just the African bush. Fantastic… Lizards enjoying the warm afternoon sun… …and some […]
