Namibia is a land of contrasts. It is the world's 34th largest country but has a population of less than 2 million. It straddles the Tropic of Capricorn but the nights and sea coast can be very cool. Overall it has few water resources but it supports a large and diverse animal population.
Cape Town area of South Africa is, on the other hand, well populated and green. We didn't know how much you could miss green.

The menu above is in chronological order but you can join our trip at any point you like. A down-arrow in the menu means there is more than one page at that location.
Or you can use the "click for the next page" link at the bottom-right of each page to view the trip as we did.
We traveled the "circle route" in a rental Nissan X-Trail and stayed at accommodations arranged by Go2Africa.com - generally heading in a counter-clockwise direction.
