60 Days in Namibia – Part 2

After Bob and Anna-Marie Vaughan planned their 60-day trip to Namibia – with a mission to fish in the five rivers bordering the country – it took four years to get the wheels rolling.

In last month’s article they told of their adventure finally getting under way. In their Mazda BT-50 with Alu-Cab canopy, towing a 2014 Sahara roughroader, they set out from their home in Bronkhorstspruit to visit destinations including the Kgalagadi, Keetmanshoop, Klein aus, Kolmanskop, Sossusvlei, Windhoek and Swakopmund.

This month we join them for the second half of their adventure…

ETOSHA NATIONAL PARK & KHORIXAS

After four nights in the Alte Brucke campsite in Swakopmund, we headed to the Etosha Safari Camp (part of the Gondwana Collection), 10 kilometres south of Etosha’s Anderson gate.

We found this camp to be tidy with well-grassed camping areas. The ablutions were neat and the sites have braai facilities and power points.

One can enjoy a drink at the Down Corruption Bar and listen to the music and song that the Safari Boys’ Band entertains the guests with.

It’s well worth a stay if you have not been here before. Close by on the opposite side of the road is another neat campsite, Eldorado.
