All you need is a 2 x4 ......

Ngepi, a gem of a place

This camping spot is situated on the Okovango River in the Caprivi and a really special find. The guy that owns it has quite a sense of humor as seen by some of the sign posts you'll see and the facilities available. If in South Africa and there was a remote chance of a hippo or crocodile coming into the camping spot, you would have huge barriers and fences up. Here they warn you that they are around and you hear the hippos loudly at night especially. We went on a River cruise and on the opposite River bank to our camp came across a huge croc and he was missing the tip of his tail. This camp has been going for over 25 years and common sense prevails. It's a true bush camp only it has a great bar, Resturant if you like and fun things to do. 

Enjoy the pictures :-)))

The Fish River Canyon Namibia

Taking a photograph of the Fish River Canyon could never do it justice. The path the River has made winds through the rock, while you stand above it and look down. There's a five day hiking trail which starts at the part closest to Hobas but still a 10km drive to get there and finishes at the Ai Ais hot springs. 

Sossusvlei and the Dead vlei

Everyone talks about Soussusvlei but before you get there is the Dead Vlei. Much more spectacular and stunningly beautiful. There is even a Lost Vlei next to it I hear but didn't know at the time which is supposed to be even more stunning. Just a few tips for anyone planning on going that way. There is a short drive you would need a 4x4 for but if you don't have don't stress as there are 4x4 game viewing cars to give you a lift there and back for R100 per person. They must make a fortune wow.

I have also included some other sand dunes in the same area for you to enjoy.

While waiting for our lift at Soussusvlei we saw an Eagle Owl fast asleep in the tree above us. Another tip is when you walk up these dunes, take water and when at the top take off your socks and shoes roll them down the side and walk down the side of the dune bare foot. It's an amazing feeling.
