The Erongo Mountains was as beautiful as always. Vingerklip was silhouetted between a hot earth and a stormy and dark sky. Twyfelfontein, the Petrified Forest and Swakopmund were also on our itinerary. As far as the south goes, our visit to the green Kalahari was a great start to this journey. The grass was knee-high and green. The wildlife happy and content and the birds chirpy. From here we descended down the escarp to the Namib Rand and we encountered a different picture. With very little rain compared to the rest of the country, this was still pretty much desert. The Tsauchab River was in flood just a week before, but few remnants remained. The silence and eery beauty of Sossusvlei and Deadvlei in the early morning remains a highlight of any tour to Namibia. Compared to 6 weeks ago, Namibia is green and lush. The landscape is inviting as always, but different. Except for the harsh Namib desert – status Quo remains. The young animals that has been dropped in the beginning of the year look more at ease within the bigger herds. Lush vegetation and colourful birds (migrants and otherwise in full plumage), butterflies and the occasional flower is a feast for the eye. After an extended drought, some parts of the country has filled up with water. The area between Etosha National Park’s northern boundary and the border with Angola has filled up like a giant shallow lake. It seems that the history of millions of years past has repeated itself. For man, the water that was so much needed, now makes it difficult for people to live. Water is everywhere. Some houses are flooded as are almost all of the farmlands. Yet, when we visited the Ruacana Falls, it was bone dry. The authorities did not release any water during our visit. The Epupa Falls on the other hand was breathtaking and loud. We also went on a sunset river cruise from Kunene River Lodge and stopped on the opposite bank for a drink. It was my first brief visit to Angola. I’m sure there will be more. The roads leading north to the Kunene was not in relatively good condition, although driving was slow as there are a multitude of little streams that cut across the roads. Off course we had to visit the local Himba village for our friends on this African Safari from Germany and the USA to better understand and appreciate their way of living. Our final two days was spent in luxury at Okonjima. On the way there we spotted two brown hyenas in full daylight – it was a first for me and a great farewell present to the group. Once again Namibia played its magic trick – it is a country that demands attention. Go on and visit this land of earth, sky and light.

A road trip can make you feel the entire world. What I mean by this, is that you can have the feeling of freedom. Whenever my friends and I go on a road trip, I just feel like I am in the best time of my life. A road trip is the best activity if you want to meet other people and experience new things. While it is physically burdening, the memories more than make up for the hassle, promise.

Solo travelling gives you a sense of freedom. When you travel with others you have to be considerate of what they might want to do at any point in time or where they want to go. But with solo travel you can literally do whatever you want, whenever you want. You don't have to wonder whether or not your companion may or may not enjoy the plans you made. Travelling solo helps you build your self confidence with others. Solo travel can be used as a way to push yourself and build up confidence in talking to others by making yourself do it on a regular basis. You really do have nothing to lose. You have to bring a tripod for your photos or better make a new friend!

Travelling is something we all want to experience in our lives. Whether it be to another country or even just an out of town trip, we all want and need to get away from the daily grind. It is difficult, though, to travel seeing as it is expensive. It is great to know that anyone can travel at any time if they realize that just by walking out of your house or your drive to work is an adventure all on its own. We may not always have the luxury to travel to different places and destinations, but we can still experience the feeling of travelling in our daily lives.
