Halloween, Haunted Travel Creepy in Namibia
Blog: Canada's Adventure Couple - 31 October 2010
When we were cycling in Africa we camped in one of the creepiest campsites on the planet. Like many days in Africa, I was cycling alone. Dave had gone ahead with the men’s peleton racing through the Kalahari Desert, but I couldn’t keep up and was stuck in the void of being in the middle [...]Halloween, Haunted Travel Creepy in Namibia is a post from: The Planet D: Canada's Adventure Couple

Snaking River Canyon: Travel Photo Contest Friday 25
Blog: Todd's Wanderings - 29 October 2010
Update: The winner is Dawn…who guessed Fish River Canyon in Namibia, the second largest canyon in the world (after the Grand Canyon)! Thanks again to Dave and his truly professional travel photo site. Here’s what he had to say about Fish River Canyon: “Fish River Canyon was an out of the way stop on our epic cycling journey from Cairo to Cape Town. We had been cycling for almost 4 months at this point and instead of keeping to the smooth paved roads all the way to the finish, the race directors decided to take us off road one more time to Fish River Canyon.

Life in the World’s Oldest Desert, Namibia
Blog: Inside the Travel Lab - 15 September 2010
Desert. It’s a word that used to have two effects on me. First, it conjured up images of parched wastelands and a world of emptiness scorched into never-ending death and sand. Second, it triggered a paranoid rush to the dictionary

Blog: Nomad-Adventure - 2 June 2010
After 18,000 miles of driving through some very densely populated countries, to enter African country no.17 that is over 800,000 sq km and has a population close to around 2 million people you enter with a sense of curiosity as to what this country has to offer and what lies in store. I am breaking [...]

Tsumeb

Tucked away in Namibia’s northern corner lies the somewhat Hicksville town of Tsumeb. Small, clean and clearly historically very German.

Sossusvlei, Namibia/ Climbing the orange dunes
Blog: Nilikuta Shani - 7 April 2010
Leaving Swakopmund, that quaint seaside village that seemed entirely out of place in the middle of the surrounding desert, we drove south toward Sossusvlei–Namibia’s number one tourist destination, with good reason.

Whenever I’m near the seaside, I always feel at home. For the first 21 years of my life I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, and spent hundreds of hours out on the water. My love for the ocean hasn’t subsided since leaving, and I find myself drawn to it in my travels. The [...]

Wipe Out/ From air to surf to sand

My skydive on the first day in Swakopmund, Namibia, would be tough to beat, if indeed it could be topped. I decided to continue with my theme of pursuing unique adventure activities while here, to get the full taste of what the town, the ocean, and the surrounding Namib Desert were like. So when one [...]
