Five week road trip in Namibia

We have spent just about 5 weeks exactly in Namibia. It has not been the easiest country to travel around in a little VW Golf packed with a paraglider, camping gear and cool boxes, but is has been fun.

There are very few roads of the tarred variety, but there are plenty of reasonably good gravel ones. The roads are long and dusty and the sand truly gets everywhere. The wildlife has been fantastic and the contrasts of colours within the landscapes as stunning as you will probably get anywhere.

We have missed meeting people on this trip, especially not meeting many local Namibian people, and often those that we did meet (local and foreigners) were not particularly friendly, there were exceptions of course.

All in all we have had a good time, but if coming to Namibia again we would choose a cooler season! For us Namibia has been a country of contrasts and well worth a visit. That for us is Namibia in a nutshell.
