Golden dusk whispers,
Elephants drift through tall grass—
Moonrise, hip undone.
Etosha, the Final Chapter of This Year’s African Adventure
Petroglyphs Come To Life At Mowani Mountain Camp
The fifth Namibian stop on our African Adventure 2025, after the Sand Sea was at Mowani Mountain Camp. Highlights of this lodge among the boulders included a visit with a parade of elephants and a cool area of rock formations and petroglyphs.
A Short Visit to the Namibian Sand Sea
The places we chose to visit on our self-drive in Namibia all had some kind of significance. We visited the Kulala Desert Lodge next because of the red dunes. Our son had seen them while he was doing a study abroad program in Botswana and told us we should definitely see them.
Our First Taste of the Deserts of Namibia
After South Africa and Kruger, it was time for the self-drive part of this adventure. We flew from Kruger to Johannesburg and then on to Windhoek, the capital of Namibia.
Seeing Giraffe, Elephants, Rhino, and More in Sabi Sands
Our first safari stop was in Kruger, South Africa, one of the places we missed seeing in 2019 when our trip was cut short. We had heard the Sabi Sands private reserve, inside Kruger National Park, was a great place for game drives and animal viewing, so that is where we went.
