Dankie Hannes
Ek het die fotos geniet en dit gee 'n goeie idee wat om te verwag in Namibie.

Re: Namibia: South, North and back South - Trip Report
Baie goeie report!!! Ek beplan om nou Desember en Jan te gaan toer, hoekom sukkel as ek sommer jou roete kan volg. Moes julle lank voor die tyd bespreek en by wie?

Re: Namibia: South, North and back South - Trip Report
Hallo Dawid
Die enigste plek waar ons lank voor die tyd bespreek het, was Etosha.
Al die ander plekke het ons aangery en/of 'n dag of so voor die tyd net gebel om te hoor of daar plek is.
Julle gaan natuurlik in 'n effe besiger tyd - ons was daar buite die skoolvakansie.
Dit kon dinge vir ons makliker gemaak het, glo ek.
Ek's skoon jaloers op jou trippie wat op hande is - geniet hom!

Ek het nog nooit bespreek nie en selfs reg gekom in Etosha. So kan jy makliker 'n aand of 2 langer bly as jy baie van 'n plek hou

Re: Namibia: South, North and back South - Trip Report
Baie dankie Ek hou ook nie van bespreek nie en ek vat eie "verblyf" saam. Die vorige keer in Namibia het ons bespreek maar daar was orals nog kamp plekke oop - ek gaan ry op instink! Hou ook van kamp, en as dit lekker is bly ek langer. die locals gee ook altyd goeie raad oor waar plek is om te ry en wat gesien moet word en wat nie!Sal die roete aanpas soos ons vorder.

Re: Namibia: South, North and back South - Trip Report
Just wanted to say thanks for a brilliant trip report. I am planning to head up to northern Namibia in May, on a very similar route though avoiding Etosha which I have visited a couple of times already. I want to bush camp as much as possible (though after a week or so I always find I need a lodge stay) so your route was of great interest.
As I live in the UK I can't take my pride and joy (Year 2000 six cylinder Patrol) as it costs too much to ship. I am thinking of hiring a Patrol or Toyota Troopie (I know, I know, but I have to take what's there!) camper body for the trip. Roof tents are just a hassle when you are on your own as I will be (especially after a few too many beers.) I know this is expensive but if it means I can spend more time away from lodges it will not add much to the overall cost.
I don't know northern Namibia at all - I have only been as far north as Hobatere and most of the way there on tarmac, so your advice on travel in the remoter parts is very welcome.
Thanks again for taking the trouble to post such detailed information which I will certainly use. Your campsite and road quality ratings are a great idea - if you have a list of those it would be really useful.
Regards
Mike

Hey Mike
Glad you found the information helpful.
The grading for the campsites and roads were sort of arbitry, but I think if you look at "our system" you will deduct what is meant.
All the roads not mentioned in the report were either well cared for or had a hard surface.
Regards
Hannes
