Introduction
Welcome to Namibia! In this blog, we will take you on an exciting journey through this beautiful country. From wildlife sanctuaries to national parks, we will share our experiences and give you a glimpse of the wonders that Namibia has to offer.
Arrival and the Road Trip
Upon arriving in Namibia, we immediately embarked on an incredible road trip around the entire country. Our first stop was Elmo Rest Camp, where we spent a peaceful night surrounded by nature. The next day, we stayed at the Trans Kutahuri Inn, just a short drive away from Index' Event. The convenience of these accommodations allowed us to fully enjoy our time without having to spend too much time on the road.
Wildlife Sanctuaries
One of the highlights of our trip was visiting the 9q Say Wildlife Sanctuary. This sanctuary provided us with an up-close and personal experience with various animals. From cheetahs to crocodiles, we had the opportunity to witness these incredible creatures in their natural habitats. What made this experience even more special was knowing that our visit contributed to the conservation efforts of these animals. The Cheetah Conservation Fund was another sanctuary we visited, where we learned about the conservation work being done to protect cheetahs and other endangered species.
Our Trusty Companion
Throughout our journey, we relied on a reliable and comfortable car. Although our original car had some issues, the rental company provided us with a new vehicle. This sedan not only looked cooler, but it also had all the necessary features, including air conditioning. With this reliable mode of transportation, we were able to explore Namibia with ease.
Exploring the Ombo Rest Camp
Prior to our visit to the Cheetah Conservation Fund, we had the opportunity to tour the Ombo Rest Camp. This camp not only provided us with a glimpse into farm life, but it also allowed us to see ostriches, crocodiles, and even some rescued warthogs. The highlight of our visit was enjoying a delicious breakfast while surrounded by nature's beauty.
A Detour and a Long Drive
During our journey to the Cheetah Conservation Fund, we took a wrong turn and ended up getting lost. Unfortunately, this caused us to miss our planned activity. However, we made the most of the situation by heading straight to our next destination, the Angula Campsite near Etosha National Park. The long drive, which took us six and a half hours, was tiring but worthwhile. Finally arriving at our campsite, we were eager to get settled and rest up for the next day's adventures.
The Angula Campsite
Our campsite, located just outside of Etosha National Park, was a serene and picturesque setting. Surrounded by trees, it provided us with a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. With our own private bathroom, we had all the comforts we needed. After a long day of driving, we were more than ready to enjoy a delicious dinner and set up our tent for a good night's sleep.
Conclusion
Our road trip through Namibia has been an incredible adventure so far. From wildlife sanctuaries to national parks, this country has so much to offer. Although we encountered a few challenges along the way, such as getting lost and missing out on planned activities, we made the most of every situation. With each passing day, we are more excited to see what else Namibia has in store for us.
