Travel Namibia

A new chapter in our journey to discovery

BUSH TELEGRAPH • News from the tourism industry

THE ZAMBEZI REGION IN the wet season • It’s mid-December and summer is in full swing. Windhoek is rapidly being drained of life as most people start the great yearly migration to the coast to escape the heat. As vehicles overloaded with children, pets and beach toys trek west we head northeast to the Zambezi Region.

FROM AFRICA with love • Handmade, wild-harvested from rich Namibian botanicals & environmentally-sound

ROAD TRIP RULES • Many of my fondest childhood memories begin on a Friday afternoon. My self- employed parents would bid the office farewell at lunch time and the next two hours were spent chaotically collecting all the necessities, stuffing my father’s Hilux bakkie to the brim with tents, cooler boxes and bedding. The last stop at the supermarket always had my dad grumbling between drags of a cigarette, as he itched to get out of town and hit the long road.

NAMIBGRENS A sanctuary for the soul • A treasure well-known by Namibians looking for a special getaway or event location, Namibgrens is a generational working farm that boasts superb accommodation options built into giant granite boulders. What many do not know about Namibgrens: this destination is a gastronomic delight, a feature becoming more popular in travel choices considering that what we often remember most after travelling is the food we ate. After all, culinary tourism is the art of good eating.

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT • African Skimmer. Rynchops flavirostris. Waterploeër.

Gardens in the desert • Transforming a community with a desert-based economy

Namibia's fascinating world of SCORPIONS • If you are a Scorpio, you were born between October 24th and November, 22nd. If you want to see the constellation of Scorpius in the clear, possibly moonless night sky in Namibia, the best time is winter. But if you are interested in finding scorpions out there in nature it should be a dark and warm night in summer.

NATURE DEFINES NAMIBIA • Five ways to connect with nature in Namibia

GIVING PLASTIC POLLUTION A CUTE FACE • Seals are popularly known as the dogs of the sea. This is because seals and dogs are physically similar and therefore classed in the same carnivore sub-order called Caniformes (meaning dog-like). Even their behaviour is similar, as seals are known to be playful and intelligent. Not surprisingly, humans can easily relate to seals as the marine version of man’s best friend.

DWARF LIONS of the desert • The ancient Greeks referred to the chameleon (chamai leon) as dwarf or earth lion because of the fighting spirit the small creature revealed when attacked.
