Day 12 - Namibia/Botswana Safari 2015. Marianfluss to Marble Camp

Very little signs of game in the area. Rugged mountains this area must really be beautiful after the rains, but it  has not rained much here over the last 3 years.

The Himba have added to the problem as they graze the area’s clean and move on.

Ostrich on the run but wildlife was scarce

At Marble Camp someone was very creative with these rocks in shaped wire frames

Giraffe in the barren land with only the odd tree and they survive.
  The distances over the next 2 days are not long, but it still takes us the whole day. We stop at the famous Shop No 1 in Opupembe, which serves the coldest beer in Africa.. So we start the morning of with an ice cold Windhoek Lager (9 o’clock).

You would be surprised at what you could buy from thongs to ice cold beer
