Conquering Namibia’s Matterhorn

There aren’t many things that beat that feeling of unzipping your tent at the first cry of a rock dassie and emerging to the sight of pink-tinged skies and trees atwitter with sounds emanating from a buzzing settlement of sociable weavers. Of course, dozing off next to the campfire while counting shooting stars comes pretty close.

CYMOT Ultimate Adventure – Tiger fishing in northern Namibia

In 2015, my husband and I went on a fishing trip to the Zambezi Region and stayed at Island View lodge. Initially, I was rather reluctant to go as I knew the sum total of my fishing holiday would probably involve me working on my tan and reading a book at the camp.

CYMOT Ultimate Adventure – A 2070 km cycle to Windhoek

I woke up suddenly, startled by something outside our tent...then it dawned on me, in our scurry to get out of a rare Kalahari rainstorm we secured our bicycles under a sail and had left our rubbish bag outside the entrance of our tent. It was now a tasty treat for some or other scavenger. So how did we end up here; two law students, two bicycles and hundreds of kilometers from our final destination, Windhoek Namibia?

Cooking among elephants

Anyone who's ever travelled through the north-western part of our country will know that it is extremely barren and harsh. This world is old, very old. About two billion years old. Gneiss and granite in truly spectacular formations seem to be the only things that have managed to survive centuries of nature's stubborn forces.

A day in the life of a woodcarver

Wooden carvings have been a take-home souvenir from Namibia for as long as I can remember. I was thrilled back in 1988 to find just the right drum for my boyfriend (now hubby) in Rundu, and yes, we still have it! Giraffes of all shapes and sizes fly on Air Namibia all the time, albeit often rather large for cabin luggage; but space is always found because you simply can’t go home without one bubble-wrapped! - Annabelle Venter
