EXPLORING THE GREAT WHITE PLACE from west to east

Salty Jackal surfing • On a misty Swakopmund afternoon we walk through the front gate of Salty Jackal Backpackers and Surf Camp, an accommodation establishment centred around the cultures of surfing and free-spirited travellers. The laid-back atmosphere is immediately tangible. Several guests are lounging on outside couches conversing in German while French voices can be heard from inside the building – the sort of international flair that you only find at backpackers, where meeting new and interesting people is part of the reason to stay there.

Conservation is a family business • Sandra Windisch writes about the Oelofse family and the continuation of a proud legacy in conservation.

The quintessential Namibian Safari at Ongava • From the back of a game viewer driving through Ongava Game Reserve, it is hard to imagine what the area must have looked like 30 years ago when it was still a cluster of unproductive cattle farms. Today it is a protected piece of land where antelope are plentiful and lion, rhino and elephant freely go about their business, all part of and contributing to a healthy, thriving biome. Thanks to a massive drive towards the reintroduction of wildlife, unwavering conservation efforts and tireless research – not to mention four exceptional lodges on the property – Ongava offers its guests a truly authentic safari experience in an African paradise.

What’s in a name • I think the only bird which has been named and featured in a movie is Jonathan Livingston Seagull. Bird on a wire by Leonard Cohen is the song most covered by other artists – about 400 different artists, I think. If this is because it is such a beautiful song or if it is about the bird I do not know. What is important is that I do not know what bird it was, but I think it has been sitting on the same wire for the last 50 years. The most famous book bird, To Kill a Mockingbird by Lee Harper, is already dead because it was killed in the book.
