Greetings! Just landed in Europe from USA to complete first leg of a trip to Namibia. Work takes me to Namibia and when that is done in a few days, I'm taking the opportunity to hire a Hilux 4x4 with a roof top tent and explore Namibia for about 10 days. The plan is to drive from Walvis Bay to Etosha and back mostly off-road, touching pavement only if/when there is no other choice.
Accommodation will be a combination of lodges and camping in the Hilux. My goal (other than to return alive) is to take routes with the best chance to see herds of desert adapted elephants on the way to and from Etosha. However, since it's now rainy season there, I'm a little concerned about condition of the roads and my traveling companion readily admits she will be useless at pushing while I'm in the drivers seat. Another goal, with any luck, is to get some decent photos of wildlife and panoramic scenery images.
I will try and post images and updates of the expedition when possible. Anyone with local knowledge please know any advice and recommendations are very much welcome and appreciated.
Cheers,
BGS
