Namibia: Damaraland

Travelling south from Etosha the weather continues to be hot and dry ... an umbrella is essential to protect us from the heat.


Built in the wattle and daub style under Mopane trees and connected by a labyrinth of paths, the main building and chalets of the lodge look like an African village. Each of the chalets has its own vegetable and herb garden surrounded by a low wall. The gardens supply fresh ingredients for dinner.



As in any vegetable garden, scarecrows are essential for keeping away the birds. These guys are scary enough to keep more than just the birds away!




The viewing point for sundowners and for enjoying beautiful African sunsets.
