Let’s set the scene: You are in your car cruising through one of Namibia’s prolific national parks. It is either really early in the morning or mid-afternoon… Converse times of day, I know, but what they have in common is how you are feeling. You are tired. The coffee hasn’t been quite the kick you needed to get you up at dawn for the best possible game viewing, or a long day of traversing vast landscapes has got you a bit slumped. What’s playing on the radio? A podcaster with a droning voice telling you about the intricacies of silverware antiquing? Skip that. Rather pull up your Spotify app and press play on our Bush Diving roadtrip playlist, specially compiled to bring some much-needed up-beat vibes into the interior of your game-viewing conveyance. The right playlist can set the tone for your African adventure and get those excitement levels to their requisite heights… just in time for you to spot your next wildlife wonder!

Music has a powerful impact on our emotions and mood, and the right playlist can elevate our spirits, improving our overall mood and wellbeing. Our Bush Diving Roadtrip Playlist aims to do just that with some timeless classics, some off-the-grid tunes you may not have heard before and a few local loves. All the songs have one thing in common – a distinctly upbeat vibe infused with African roots. African music is known for its vibrant rhythms, infectious beats and uplifting melodies, which can inspire feelings of joy, positivity and adventure.

As you journey through one of Namibia’s incredible game reserves, be it Etosha, Bwabwata or Mudumu, let our wild and wonderful themed playlist provide the perfect soundtrack to your adventure.

Sidenote: Be sure to turn down the volume on your speakers as soon as you are pressing the lower window button to take photos of the lions on the edge of Etosha Pan. There is nothing less cool than tunes pumping from a vehicle, disturbing the wildlife and your fellow visitors… no matter how lekker the beats. TNN
