The tough Southern Namibian roads and an electrical fire having taken their toll on both caravans, we were relieved to be able to spend two nights at Namibrand Family Hideout giving us time for cleaning, repairs and laundry.
This place is probably my favourite in all of Namibia. Days spent chilling on the large wrap-around verandah, the red desert sands stretching from the front steps of the house as far as the eye can see in all directions.
Springbok, zebra, kudu, ostrich and gemsbok to-ing and fro-ing at the waterhole all day.
Peace and quiet.
The NWR campsite at Sesriem is the only place to camp, giving you extra time to drive in and out to Sossiesvlei before sunrise and after sunset.
And to avoid the crowds. Not that the crowds have returned yet. In fact, from a tourist point of view, 2022 is even quieter than 2021 was. The after effects of the Omicron travel ban slapped on Southern African countries by the UK and Europe are taking their toll on an already destroyed tourism sector. We are so very privileged to have these places to ourselves once again. But it's sad. Nkosi Sikelele eAfrica.God Bless Africa.
