Swakopmund and Spitskoppe, Namibia

March 10-17, 2019

From Etosha NP we drove to the coast. It took a couple of days, but the roads were good and so was the scenery. We spent a total of four nights on the coast, enjoying the much cooler weather and the beautiful seaside towns. We then headed inland. We are back in the heat, over 100, and we visited the very scenic area of Spitzkoppe.

Camp site pests in Kamanjab.

Ostriches would not leave us alone. Our camp site had a shaded picnic area. When we sat there, we were constantly watched.
Our camp site in Omaruru. Rest camps in Namibia are very nice.
