Southern Africa Trip - Namibia

In June 2008 after completing my studies I decided to go and explore more of Southern Africa. I boarded a bus in Bellville and headed north to Windhoek in Namibia where I would meet up with a friend Le Roux Van Schalkwyk.

The bus drive up took 23 hours and we had a delay at the border post for 3 hours. The journey did not feel that long as I sat next to British girl called Sam Murray and we chatted all the way till she got dropped in Keetmanshoop.

From Windhoek I got a lift with Le Roux to the Caprivi Strip in North Eastern Namibia. Here I spent a few days on the banks of the Okavango River with Le Roux and his family.

I was heading towards Mukuyu Outreach in Zambia. This would be my only destination that I had pre arranged. From the Caprivi I headed to Victoria Falls and then onto Mukuyu on the Lower Zambezi River.

I did not spend much time in Namibia as I concentrated on reaching Mukuyu.
