To the south lies a bird sanctuary of international
importance, in the east are the elongated
fingertips of the oldest desert in the world, to
the north are beautiful sandy beaches and in
the west flows the brilliant Benguela Current,
one of the most intricate oceanic ecosystems
on the planet.

Above us, only sky… and beneath, the wild waters of the Okavango in all its glory, complete with an abundance of crocodile, hippo and over ninety species of fish that subsist within its depths.

Heavy clouds hang above the boat like an umbrella. Dark blue as far as the eye can see, promises to break at any instant. This is the place where African rainstorms found their thunder.

Namibia’s capital is a bustling city with an estimated population of
± 400 000 (according to the City of WIndhoek). Windhoek lies in an airy basin in the central highlands, surrounded by the Auas Mountains in the southeast, the Eros Mountains in the northeast and the Khomas Hochland in the west.
