Although not exactly how we planned (meaning not in Mosambique), but at the end of our Africa trip we could spend a couple of fantastic diving days. Based on recommendations from fellow travellers we found a heavenly spot on [...]
The 2 trips we make in the area of Walvisbai give us a totally new perspective on off-road driving. However, the drive through the sand to Pelican Point – a peninsula which more or less disappears with high tide [...]
We reach the most northern point of our journey: Epupa, an idyllic site on the banks of the Kunene River. An oasis after many kilometers of arid landscape, where Namibia meets Angola, the Kunene River drops 40 meters in [...]

The days in the middle of Namibia were full of new impressions. We spent hours “photo hunting” for animals around the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, we visited some real German towns on the coast line and we explored the [...]
