The magnificent intoxication of being free

What a treat to stroll through the veils of twilight, to float across the sky like a slowly forming thought. Flying an airplane, one usually travels the shortest distance between two points. Balloonists can dawdle, lollygag, cast their fate to the wind and become part of the ebb and flow of nature, part of the sky itself, held aloft like any bird, leaf or spore.

Africa’s giants call long distance

Imagine if your telecommunication company gave you only half an hour each day to make a long-distance call. You would probably make absolutely certain that you were ready to make the call the moment the lines were opened – as would everybody else – and for that time there would be a flood of long-distance calls and communication.

Wetlands of international importance

The thousands of flamingos, a mass of pink and white, were quietly honking as they preened and fed in the protein-rich water of the Walvis Bay Lagoon. Terns by the thousand were wheeling, circling and plunging into the water, their shrill calls a contrast to the deep honking of the flamingos. Thousands of cross-shaped forms lined the water's edge – cormorants with open wings drying in the sunlight.

Discover Namibia’s national parks

Namibia’s Ministry of Environment and Tourism (MET) is custodian to some of the biggest, oldest and most spectacular parks on our planet. The national protected area network of the MET covers 140 394 km2, almost 20% of the country. While the Etosha National Park and Namib-Naukluft Park make up the cornerstone of the Namibian tourism experience, gems like Khaudum, Bwabwata and Sperrgebiet, are less well known but no less worth exploring. All the country’s protected areas, each with something unique to offer, are celebrated in an official series of park brochures and fact sheets.

With great expectation and anticipation, Kalizo is on fire for this incredible happening every year. However, like in-laws, their departure is not that predictable, taking place from early November until late December.

Namibia’s rarest wildlife gem

The African wild dog, aka the painted hunting dog or Cape hunting dog, is one of Africa’s most misunderstood yet unique and enigmatic species. Although obviously a member of the canid family and related to foxes, dholes, dingos, wolves, jackals and other dogs, it has no close relatives and is the single member of the genus Lycaon, Greek for ‘painted wolf’.
