My solo trip to Namibia: Swakopmund

It was amazing experience to visit Deadvlei, but eventually it was time to move on. After an hour drive we stopped at a remote settlement, at the edge of the Namib-Naukluft National Park, called Solitaire. I read it was founded in 1949, a welcoming stop with gas station, bakery and some wifi. It’s seeing civilisation signs in the middle of nowhere. At the entry, you see the sign Solitaire, and…

Sossusvlei (sometimes written Sossus Vlei) is a salt and clay pan surrounded by high red dunes, located in the southern part of the Namib Desert, in the Namib-Naukluft National Park of Namibia. The name "Sossusvlei" is often used in an extended meaning to refer to the surrounding area (including other neighbouring vleis such as Deadvlei and other high dunes). These landmarks are some of the major visitor attractions of Namibia.

Greetings all! Welcome to chapter three of my world travels. I reach the one year milestone on 24 June.

In the last four months, I left Johannesburg, South Africa 🇿🇦 and traveled to Gaborone, Botswana 🇧🇼 then flew up to the majestic Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe 🇿🇼. Came back into Botswana and did an incredible safari through Chobe and Moremi National Parks and the Okavango Delta. Took a separate trip to the Makgadikgadi Pans and then traveled to Windhoek, Namibia 🇳🇦. Visited the incredible Namib Naukluft Desert, west coast at Swakopmund/Walvis Bay and Etosha National Park.

Right now I’m chillaxing in Namibia’s capital city, Windhoek. Have a lovely apartment in the center of town with an Indian restaurant less than a block away. Yummy 😋

On 19 July, I fly north to Luanda, Angola.
