Safari in Okapuka : the white rhinos

White rhinos

Favorite thing: Seeing these rhinos is one of my fondest memories, I'd never thought it was possible to be so close to them. We stopped the car there for a while and watch them eat their grass without paying any attention to us ;-)

Bluetiful bird

Favorite thing: One of our favourite animals in Namibia, this multicoloured bird is even more impressive and beautiful when it spreads its blue wings. We saw it in the logde's garden but also in Etosha National Parc.

So Dry...
THLIN profile photo

4.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

THLIN 341 reviews

Favorite thing: It's really funny for me, because I never ENJOY natural hair drier. It's do dray that you don't even need any hair drier after washing your hair. This rule is not for man only, but also good for lady with long hair. So, next time no worry for your wet hair. But it may be a little bit annoying if your hair is easily damaged. XD

NAMIBIA
PEE-WEE profile photo

4.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

PEE-WEE 810 reviews

Favorite thing: Namibia means different things to different people. But there's no doubt that the common thread through everyone's feelings is based on the awesome natural phenomenon of the country. The vast tracts of unpopulated land that stretch forever. The incredible Soussusvlei dunes. The ghostly coastline. The harshness. And of course, man's insignificance.

Downtown Windhoek

SirRichard 3639 reviews

Favorite thing: Skyline of Independence Avenue, the main avenue in Windhoek, and the place to go if you need to go shopping or a good restaurant.
Here you can find the Post Office, from where you can make phone calls, send/receive faxes and change money.
You can find a good shopping mall and Tourist Info in Post Street, a pedestrian street just in front of the Post Office.

German houses

SirRichard 3639 reviews

Favorite thing: In Independence Avenue, you can find this little old houses that make you think of Bavaria, more than Africa. Most of them are now tourist shops and offices. At left side you can see the Kalahari Sands Hotel, a classical here and a common meeting point for safaris...

Fondest memory: The new Supreme court in Windhoek is a massive concrete building painted in pastel colors. It's located next to the big parking area in the centre of Windhoek.
