As Namibian as Apple Pie – Africa’s best slice of Apple Pie

I always ponder the quote, “there are no rest stops on the road of life” for its core truth, but thankfully when traveling across the barren landscape of Namibia rest stops, although limited, do exist. Yet, a stop in Solitaire provides more than just a chance to gas up, stretch the legs, hit the bathroom or […]

Where to Stay in Sossusvlei Namibia? – Sossusvlei Lodge

Visitors discover there are not too many stops between Windhoek, the capital city, and Sossusvlei besides a stop in Solitaire. Yet visitors also discover the journey is well worth it. And even more so if you stay at […]

I landed in Windhoek, Namibia, but my luggage didn’t. I’d travel to the city without it and trust it would be on the next flight. Thankfully, a few daily flights exist to the capital of Namibia from South Africa, but the airport was far from busy on the day I arrived. On the long bus […]

After the drinks arrived we started discussing Namibia with our server. She shared her experiences and told us a key point, make sure you run down the sand dunes.

After the day spent hiking the insanely incredible red sand dunes of Sossusvlei, I returned to the lodge. Next up – a special sunset adventure. The Sossusvlei Lodge offered an afternoon adventure tour designed to catch a glimpse of the setting sun. I signed up. And after the prior day’s Namibian sunset in Sossusvlei, I was […]

A Stop in Solitaire, Namibia

A Stop in Solitaire, Namibia

by on April 22, 2011 in Destination

A car pulled to the sole gas station and two guys exited. The first lit his cigarette and headed to the general store, the other lit his and started refueling the car. This was Solitaire, Namibia. The stop, a good distance from Windhoek, the capital city, and the coastal destinations of Swakopmund or the red […]
