Our trip via Germany was ‘fine’. ie cramped, frustrating and generally grim. Hey ho. The fun of flying today. BUT: we got here! (Namibia!) in the morning and managed to get through the scrum which is called customs. Prepurchase of the visa was great. Probably saved 2-3 hours. And the folk at ATI were there to meet us. All good!
We picked up our Toyota Hilux, 14K miles om the clock and new tyres, yea!
Then, we drove to Otijwa Eagles rest. Glorious. ‘Only’ a stopover but Oh my gosh. We decided on the night drive, 20.30 til 23.00, which was extraordinary:
African Giant Owl. Bat Eared Fox.
But the most exciting, by ten million percent was:
What a few hours. The guides were so happy. One hadn’t seen a leopard for over a year. The other twice in 2025. How lucky!? And this was our first night!
The next day we decided to do a 6:30 am MTB ‘safari’ which I thoight would be a gentle trip around a park. From a cycle it was, but from an animals POV, amazing.
We saw rhino, giraffe, ostrich and loads of great deer based stuff – bambi type things! More photos to follow, sorry!
But for 24 hours, gosh!!

How wonderful, job done you can come home now.
Though sadly no photo of a leopard’s tail poking out of a bush – better stay on, maybe tomorrow?

We tried for just the tail. Failed. But many equally good photos to show you soon!
