There is so much to see in this world. How does one choose? For me there’s something that has to in a sense call out to me. Without fail, I’m called to explore lands off the beaten path. Places where human activity is in sync with nature. Where tourists are more travelers than conquerors. Where life is totally different than my own. Where I can once again be blown away by the vastness of diver... Read Full Entry

In 2006, our family began what we thought was a 3 year adventure of living and traveling in China. But like Gilligan, our 3 year tour turned into something much longer and deeper than we expected. This was just the beginning of our cultural travels and blogs. 3 years turned into 6 years and included a time of residence in South Korea as well. The kids have all transitioned into and out of college leaving us as empty nesters, but not empty of ambitions to continue to explore the world. Come along with us as we seek to expand our understanding of this marvelous world in which we live! ... full info

Sundowners at Sossusvlei

Damaraland Camp

Eco tourism at its finest.

Our breakfast view

Soft doughy rolls, eggs, bacon, sausage, Paa, Yogurt, fruit, "Honey I'm home" topping, pancakes and coffee over the fire. Super delicious and fun breakfast surprise on a remote mountain top with this view. Thank you D-camp team!

A dazzle of Hartmann Mountain Zebras

A super cute sub-species adapted to desert life and able to quickly climb mountains

Black rhino

A cool guy who thankfully didn't know we were standing just a few yards down wind. His horn is cut every 5 years by local rhino rangers in an effort to dissuade poaching.

Desert adapted giraffe

Known as the angolian species giraffe, dark spots on this guy indicate he is relatively old.

Desert adapted giraffe

Lighter spots indicate this is a younger giraffe.

Desert adapted elephants on the Haub river

Imagine looking out the back of your open 4x4 and seeing these coming toward you.....

So close

Feeling the stomp of their feet as they pass within inches of our vehicle.

The herd continues

Desert adaptations

These elephants can stand on two feet to reach their food. They can go 2 days without water and compared to other elephants of Africa, these will conserve the trees by only pulling down branches, rather than the entire tree.

D-camp trail

Follow this trail to the boma.....

Boma Dinner

A surprise evening of singing, candle lit trail, drinks around the fire, and a BBQ buffet with Amarula mousse for dessert. Warm conversation with the other 10 guests staying at our lodge.

Etosha Tented camp

There's an elephant at the pool!

Dining at Etosha

The visitors at the water hole and swimming pool at the camp provided non-stop entertainment

Swallow tail bee eater

Yellow billed hornbill

African Hoopoe

The king of the water hole

In Etosha, when a lion approaches, all creatures scatter and give them priority. This gal was obviously famished as she lumbered slowly to the water hole

Visiting Namibia would be an adventure
I have this dream about one day visiting Namibia and go an a really long adventure trip. I have seen so many wonderful photos from odd, fascinating but often very remote places in Namibia and I want to see them all. I expect that I would need to go on 4WD tours to be able to see may of them, but it would be totally worth it. /Ake
