Good bye Namibia, hello again South Africa



Dear friends,
After 2 weeks in Namibia, we are now come back in South Africa, in Bloemfontein, the main city of the Free State.
We really enjoyed our trip in Namibia (in part thanks to the help of Julie, Kiewiet and Alida): after a visit of the Waterberg Natural Park, we spend 3 days in Etosha Park where we saw a lot of animals(lions, elephants, zebras, girafes, oryx, kudus, rhinos and of course springboks).
It was a great moment for us because it was our first safari in Africa...but not the last one!
Then, we continuted the road to the Kaokoland where we visited a Himba village during an half day.
After, we drived trought the Skeleton Coast (are we on the Moon?) and meet a very cold weather.
After a stop in Swapkomund for 2 nights, we spent the last days in the Namib Desert where we have climbed the Big Daddy dune which is considered like the 2nd higgest of the world ! The point of view is fantastic but the climb is hard because of the sand!

And now?
Tomorrow, we go to the rugby game in Bloem between the Cheetahs (the local team) and the Blue Bulls from Victoria State.
On Sunday morning, we leave to Maseru, Lesotho`s capitale. (for approximatly 1 week).

Next message after the Lesotho`s experience !
