Years of visits to this diverse place

Hello

Yes I have got a few trip reports running at the moment but most of them where either one or two visits. Namibia is a different story as we have travelled extensively for over 10 years therefore I am not going to even attempt a blow by blow account of them.

I think the best way for me to do this is to just make a start and see how this progresses.

These next photos were taken before digital but I converted them. As you will start to notice myself and SO have a real passion for leopards - yes this was in etosha and we spent 8 hours on our own (yes that is hard to believe in etosha) with this cat as eat had caught a BBJ.

Here is a photo of my SO. This is a fantastic photo (haha) as this is one of the few I ever take as SO takes most 99% of the photos.

Most of the driving in Namibia is done on C or D roads. We could debate for hours on the safest type pressure and speed. I travel below 100km per hour and at a tyre pressure of around 1.8b. Over the years we have used many tyres but by far the best (in my opinion) are the BF Goodrich AT. I have a set of BF Goodrich MT for when I travel in the summer months.

The roads in Namibia are normally in great condition but sometimes the weather conditions creates the challenge.

The conditions on the west can change quickly thou.

Image

Some animals you have to look very carefully to find.

Image

others not so difficult. the cubs have been part of the etosha mega pride for years now.

IMO the leopard is by far the most elegant and beautiful cat. Unfortunately I have never had that kind of sighting of one 0*\ ;-)
