- We’re not quite finished with Namibia yet!When we weren’t getting thrown out of planes or lugging it up sand-dunes we did quite a few other things in Namibia; best shown in photo format me thinks. :-) [img=http://photos.travellerspoint.com/439721/1__Largest..ab_Tree.jpg caption=1.

- Spitzkoppe, Seals, Skydiving and Sand-dunes.Hopefully the heading says it all as we’ve only got a few days left in Cape Town and a billion things to write about on the blog. If we have any hope of finishing all the African entries we Posted by Mike.Keely in The Adventures of Mike & Keely | Feb 5, 2012
- Big Cat Week; Lions, Cheetahs and a LeopardBotswana may not have been on the travel ‘wish list’ but Namibia certainly was: sand dunes and stunning desert landscapes here we come. But first we had 2 game drives in Etosha National Park, a place that I will Posted by Mike.Keely in The Adventures of Mike & Keely | Feb 3, 2012
- Day Fifty Three to Fifty Five – Etosha AgainNot to speak hereto a point of boredom but we had another exceptional few days, more cheetah and cubs, jackal pups, hyena finishing off elephant bones of the carcass we’d seen one month previously, lion, fighting giraffes, with their Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Nov 20, 2011
- Day Fifty Two – Back to EtoshaWith heads lacking a little clarity after a litre of wine each we set off for Etosha again. Five hours later after retracing those broken-tyred steps we had taken just a few days earlier, we had enjoyed a spot of Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Nov 20, 2011
- Day Fifty to Fifty One - A little shocked“No, there’s not a single thing wrong under here mate,” said Quentin on the phone to Captain Shock in a greatly improved mood. “There’s not a scratch,” he added. “There is a bit of dirt but they’ve driven it for Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Nov 12, 2011
- Day Forty Nine - Tired of tyresWe bought two hellishly expensive tyres in the morning whilst taking a leisurely breakfast at the bakery and made Windhoek by two. We hit every tyre shop in Windhoek, bartering them and playing one against another until we found a Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Nov 12, 2011
- Day Forty Eight – Halfway backGiven our trials and tribulations we just wanted to get to Windhoek before the weekend so that we could shop around for some new tyres and try and get our warranty validated on the banana suspension. As it stood Windhoek Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Nov 12, 2011
- Day Forty Seven – Pooped at Epupa We had planned on leaving to get back to Windhoek but after our exertions over the last few days we decided we should stay another night and recoup. Using palm nuts we played boules at the river side, we read Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Nov 12, 2011
- Day Forty Six – ShockingWith our tyres as they were, and the temperatures hitting the low forties, rubber conservation was imperative. We were to start early in the cooler part of the morning before the ground got too hot and then drive for as Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Nov 12, 2011
- Day Forty Four- CorrugationsWe were fresh today. It felt like something of a beginning for the first major section of our trip. We had left the Atlantic Ocean yesterday. We would now travel across Africa to the Indian Ocean before turning left to Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Nov 12, 2011
- Day Forty Three – Beamo Grylls, Grills Walking along the beach the next morning the bags under our eyes told of a long night interrupted by lots of rain, the noisy Atlantic and nightmares of waking to find the water lapping against Redvers’ doors. Looking down I Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Nov 10, 2011
- Day Forty Two – Oil Rigs and Shipwrecks The day got off to a belting start when the park guys started fixing their car at the break of dawn. We lay still in our crumpled sleeping bags for a while contemplating rising. Eventually we could take the noise Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Nov 10, 2011
- Day Forty One - Beached We drank coffee whilst we sat watching the distant ocean glow brighter as the sun rose on our backs. Today was a great day. We were to be shipwreck hunters again! There were a few wrecks on our list that we Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Nov 10, 2011
- Day Forty - Swakopmund and BeyondA day marked by nothing in particular. We bolted for Swakopmund along a road we’d taken previously with Emma. At Swakopmund we used the ‘super fast internet cafe’ to upload the latest edition of ‘Scramble...’ and we filled up Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Nov 10, 2011
- Day Thirty Nine – Sat Phone Pursuit Arriving back from the Waterberg Plateau we nipped up to the top of the Windhoek Hilton for a couple of cocktails whilst the sun set on our penultimate day in Windhoek. Their Mojitos lacked lime, which at six quid a Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Nov 1, 2011
- Day Thirty Five to Thirty Eight – Poisonous CreaturesWaiting for papers and the phone was dreary, we had to escape. We’d heard of a walking safari that we could do for ten quid each in the Waterberg Plateau... At the Namibian Wildlife Office we were told that for the Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Nov 1, 2011
- Day Thirty Four - Song NightAfter 48 hours of a lull in excitation levels we became ever more anxious to find some fun. We scoured ‘What’s On... Windhoek’ and there it was. Song Night. With equal measures of culture and entertainment it fitted the bill nicely. Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Nov 1, 2011
- Days Thirty Two and Thirty Three - Waiting...For two long days we sat reading, planning and waiting. Waiting like we were being paid to diligently wait. Some important papers of mine had had to go back to the snail paced office enshrined South African bureaucracy. To those Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Oct 31, 2011
- Days Thirty and Thirty One - Birthday Gloating Day Thirty and Thirty One - Gloating in the Sand Dunes – 22nd – 23rd October2011 The following day was Saturday 22nd October. This was a day of immense importance. It was the day on which, 29 years ago, Mummy Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Oct 24, 2011
- Days Twenty Seven to Twenty Nine – Desert, Dunes and GermansNamibia is home to around 2 million people. Given that its land surface area is four times the size of the UK this is a sparsely populated land. Temperatures regularly hit 40oC which means that water starts to evaporate almost Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Oct 24, 2011
- Day Twenty Six – Chilling in WindhoekWe cleaned out Redvers, wrote postcards and sorted out all those fiddly things that require electronic communications. You don’t want to know. Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Oct 18, 2011
- Day Twenty Five – Easy go easy come Cities mean sanctuary at the moment. A chance to catch up on writing, cull some photos send postcards, arrange our affairs and restock and recharge. In one morning we successfully planned the next month of our trip with a little Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Oct 18, 2011
- Day Twenty Four –Lions, lions, lions Knowing Emma had to be back in Windhoek for 3.30 we figured that a dash for the dead elephant was on. If we got there early enough we may even see them do something other than sleep. What a great Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Oct 18, 2011
- Day Twenty Three – Salt Pans and Rude People We were up and at the gate by 6.30 but it had opened 5 minutes early and Kathryn and Mark had already left. Redvers roared to life and within three km’s we had caught them. They’d been driving slowly. At Posted by ibeamish in The Scramble for Africa | Oct 18, 2011
