- Winding our way to Walvis BayTook an uber to the airport in Capetown for a short flight to Walvis Bay Namibia. Smooth and inexpensive compared to other options. This was the way flying used to be...no check-in lines, no security lines, a silent airport so no noise to Posted by Kate and Paul in The trail is the thing 2018 | Oct 18, 2018
- Namibia/Zimbabwe/ZambiaAfter a couple hours of layover in Johannesburg, I connected to Windhoek, Namibia.

- Leaving NamibiaFriday, June 15 I did not sleep well. It was probably the leaving on a plane issue. Even with a late flight I am always a bit nervous when I have a plane to catch. I was also cold. This time Posted by Bob Brink in Searching for Magical Moments | Jun 26, 2018
- Back to WindhoekThursday, June 14 The room at the Ghanzi Trailblazers was not warm, but I slept under a couple of big blankets and got a good night’s sleep. When I looked out in the morning I could see a big overland tour Posted by Bob Brink in Searching for Magical Moments | Jun 23, 2018
- Still Looking For Game in CapriviThursday, June 7 I guess I had another good nights sleep in spite of it being quite cold.

- Not Much Game to See in CapriviWednesday, June 6 I could hear our next door neighbours packing up their camping trailer as I was still in my tent. I stayed there until I heard Sam up and about.

- Fine Day at Ngepi CampTuesday, June 5 As expected, I could hear the grunts of the hippos until I went to sleep. Otherwise it was very quiet. I woke up in the night feeling quite cold, and I needed to step outside. As per Sam’s Posted by Bob Brink in Searching for Magical Moments | Jun 14, 2018
- Arrival in Western Caprivi at Ngepi CampMonday, June 4 It was a quiet night, but I could hear the distant sounds of trucks on the road. After shivering for awhile, I put on my sweatshirt and some socks, which helped, but I was still cold. We Posted by Bob Brink in Searching for Magical Moments | Jun 14, 2018
- Visiting a Lonely Baobab TreeSunday, June 3 As I was going to sleep I could hear one of my new neighbours snoring away. But then I must have slept well, because in the morning Sam asked if I had gone out to the waterhole to Posted by Bob Brink in Searching for Magical Moments | Jun 14, 2018
- Great Day in Etosha Saturday, June 2 Since we were fenced in at the campsite/hotel complex, we had to pass through a gate to leave for our game drive. Sam had us there at 7. The sign (which changes according to sunrise) said that the Posted by Bob Brink in Searching for Magical Moments | Jun 12, 2018
- On to EtoshaFriday, June 1 I had a great sleep. It was great to be in a regular bed after 6 nights of camping. This was a brief respite as the following 8 nights were back in the tent. Because there were Posted by Bob Brink in Searching for Magical Moments | Jun 12, 2018
- Visit to a Baobab ChurchThursday, May 31 I spent another comfortable night sleeping with the front flap open and only hearing the roar of the waterfalls.

- Magical Moments at Epupa FallsWednesday, May 30 As I write every morning, I woke up early, but this after a glorious night of sleeping with the front flap open, listening to the roar of the waterfalls as moon light shone down all night. It was Posted by Bob Brink in Searching for Magical Moments | Jun 12, 2018
- Made it to Epupa FallsTuesday, May 29 Sam was up early, getting everything packed. We left the campsite just after 7 am, but could not drive away because a valve was leaking on one of the rear tires which had to be replaced. Luckily the Posted by Bob Brink in Searching for Magical Moments | Jun 5, 2018
- Great Morning Tracking Lion and Hyena at PalmwagMonday, May 28 I walked over the Elephant Bridge to the main reception for my 7:00 am game drive.

- North to PalmwagSunday, May 27 I write the same sentence every day. I was up early. I do not go to bed at 10:00 back in Pouch Cove. So if anything, my biological needs make me get up well before 6:00. I was Posted by Bob Brink in Searching for Magical Moments | Jun 2, 2018

- Lots of SealsFriday, May 25 I woke up early, spent some time updating the blog and went down to breakfast. I ordered pancakes, which turned out to be crepes, always a favourite of mine.

- Stuck in the MudThursday, May 24 In every traveller’s journey there are days when things do not go according to plan. I had been disappointed the day before when my balloon did not fly. This day was going to be worse. But I am Posted by Bob Brink in Searching for Magical Moments | May 31, 2018
- Deflated BalloonsWednesday, May 23 It was quite noisy again last night. The young women of the tour group were having a lot of fun. The South Africans were still beside us making their noise. So I put in my ear buds and Posted by Bob Brink in Searching for Magical Moments | May 31, 2018
