We got our permit for 12 people to go hike the oldest canyon in the world in 2024. It will be my first time back since the early 90s.

Did you know that the geological history of the canyon goes back about 650million years?

In einer unerwarteten Entscheidung hat der Oberste Gerichtshof Namibias gleichgeschlechtliche Ehen, die im Ausland geschlossen wurden, anerkannt und damit die Gültigkeit der Sodomiegesetze aus der Kolonialzeit in Frage gestellt, die zwar nicht mehr angewendet werden, aber seit 1927 in den Gesetzbüchern stehen.

A Sociable weaver's giant nest in Namibia, probably the most spectacular structure built by any bird.


The Sociable weaver (Philetairus socius) is a species of bird in the weaver family found across #SouthAfrica, #Namibia and #Botswana. This species construct large compound community nests that resemble huts, complete with a sloping thatched-grass roof that sheds rain. These nests are the world’s largest and most populated tree houses, with some weighing up to a ton or more and measuring up to 20 feet wide and 10 feet tall.

Built around large and sturdy structures like acacia trees or sometimes even telephone poles, the nests provide shelter from direct sunshine, rain, drought, and cold. They are large enough to house over a hundred pairs of birds, consisting of several generations at a time. Each breeding pairs tends to its own compartment with its private entrance and line the interior with soft downy plant material. These entrances are packed closely together and when seen from below, the communal nest has a honeycomb appearance. These #birds are constantly making home improvements, adding new nesting chambers, and some nests have remained occupied for over a century!

This lion pride was resting, even the cubs, except for the one cub on top of the rock who had been trying to get the others to play. Suddenly the two female adult lions saw some Springbok that came to the water on the other side of the rock and they moved into high alert positions. One of the Springbok caught sight of the cub on top of the rock and they made their escape.

Any tips on travel #roadtripping cape region south Africa and then Namibia?

Thinking two weeks around cape town perhaps hit the garden route and then fly to Namibia and two more weeks there.

Doing the two oceans run as well on the 15th April. So travel dates are 11th April - 14th May ish.

Also is there a game drive that can be done near Cape town?

Wer auf ca. 10:05 Ortszeit zurückscrollt, kann sehen, wie eine einzelne Oryx einen Pulk Strauße durch die Wüste jagt. 😂🤣
