Have a great time, we just got back from Namibia and I'm still envious of your trip! Would love to hear a review of 'new' (to me) places when you get back:

Ugab Wilderness Camp, Brandberg –camping
Gelbingen Lodge, DBB basis and Himba
N’Kwazi Camp – camping only
Camp Kwando – camping only
Zelda Guest Farm – camping only

... and maybe I can put them on my list for our next trip ...

tockoloshe, I will take a lot of pictures and write a review when we get back, most of the places on this trip are also "new" to me, cause the last time I was in Namibia was in 2003.

Have you posted a trip report about your latest trip?

Looking forward to hearing all about it!

No I haven't done a trip report this time, it was mainly camping on the Botswana side of Kgalagadi and staying in the wilderness camps in SA part of Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park and that's been reported upon previously, so I don't think I can add anything new. Needless to say we had a marvellous time and on arriving back in Windhoek we wanted to set off northwards and keep going! Lucky you!

so jealous, I hope you have a wonderful trip. Namibia really does have such a spectacular landscape. To get you even more excited I saw a great photo essay of Namibia's Desert Landscapes and thought you would enjoy them: http://www.mysafari.com/african-blog...to-essay-4003/
