In November and December of last year (2019), we loaded our Jeep Wrangler and headed north out of Cape Town, destination Namibia and the Kunene River, her border with Angola.
A 15-day safari that was mainly designed around photographing the various destinations within Namibia that we had no photographs of or were running low of stock photographs. Over the 15-day period, we managed to rack up 6402.43 kilometres (or 3978.28 miles) with an average speed of just 42 km/h, a truly wonderful time was had.
Our route and destinations visited were as follow;
- Orange River
- Wolvedans Game Reserve
- Swakopmund
- Spitzekoppe
- Doros Crater
- Hoanib River
- Opuwo
- Epupa Falls
- Etosha National Park
- Erindi Private Game Reserve
- Namib Naukluft
- Fish River canyon
Over the next few weeks and months, we will be adding travel information, detailed route maps and KML files, as well as photographs and opinions on each of the destinations visited. When new posts have been published we will notify all via FaceBook and Twitter
Below is a map with the exact routing that was travelling, it is just near fish River canyon that our Garmin had a bit of a miss-fire and did not record the short journey from there to the South African border.
Cape Town To The Kunene And Back Again
Little Kulala
Little Kulala the flagship of Namibia's extraordinary Sossusvlei area, has for several years been attracting informed travellers, who enjoy the first-rate facilities, charming hospitality and nearby proximity to the towering dunes.
Anderssons At Ongava
The atmosphere of Andersson's Camp makes for a comfortable modern-day base for exploring this world-class wildlife destination; The tents are a clever mix of calcrete stone cladding, canvas, and wood, each with elevated on wooden decks.
One of the best luxury lodges located within a few minute's drive of the Anderson Gate.
Onguma Tented Camp
It is this intriguing combination and attention to detail that makes Onguma Tented Camp, the latest in Visions of Africa's up-market portfolio of camps, the ultimate in safari chic.
Situated on the eastern side of Etosha National Park, without question a superb option if looking for tented lodges in Etosha.
Mushara Outpost
The Mushara Outpost lodge accommodates 16 guests in custom-made tent-like structures; each tent is set on a wooden deck, a metre and a half above the ground, giving us a different perspective of the surrounding Namibian bush.
Mushara, one of the best Etosha lodge options for romantics and honeymooners alike.
Büllsport Guestfarm
Büllsport Guestfarm is the perfect option for those who want a bit more of a private experience but without sacrificing location and activities. A small swimming pool is available.
Büllsport is located 155 kilometres drive from Sossusvlei and offers up farm-style accommodation with hiking, horse riding and 4x4 safari activities. Highly recommended.
Hansa Hotel
The Hansa Hotel in the centre of Swakopmund, wrapped in the shape of a timelessly classical building dating from 1905. Centrally located and within walking distance of all attractions.
Steeped in Swakopmund history, the Hansa Hotel offers every modern amenity the discerning traveller could wish for.
Zambezi Mubala Lodge
Zambezi Mubala Lodge is one of Namibia's best-kept secrets with a Zambezi Riverfront setting, 450 species of bird and good fishing all on the doorstep.
The perfect base from which to explore all that surrounds or simply sit back and relax in the lap of luxury.
Canyon Village
The Canyon Village lodge sits picturesquely at the foot of a sweeping rock face in Gondwana Canon Park, the lodge consists of 42 comfortable chalets in the Cape-Dutch style and a thatched restaurant 20 km from the Canyon.
One of the more interesting Fish River lodge options in the area, with beautiful scenery and friendly staff, one could not want more.
