My hosts in Swakopmund, Namibia run Ondjamba Safaris.
For the independence day long weekend, we loaded kids into one of their desert vehicles and headed north into the desert.
Our destination was Brandburg (Fire Mountain), Namibia’s highest massif at 2573m.
The temperature was about 40C when we arrived White Lady Lodge.
I love the Namibian campsites, sprawling under shade trees.
This technology was a first for me — showers are heated by wood fire. Campground employees light up the showers every morning.
Just before sunset we headed off to climb a mound of boulders.
The real attraction of Namibian camping is the Brai — a magnificent barbecue.
I slumped into my tent early. Too much wine.
