For the summer of 2020, the 30th year of Namibia’s independence, we opted to take the kids along! Or even worse, teenagers. Some of us were children recently enough to still recount the feeling; one of the contributors is still at that age, and some had to delve a little deeper to find the travelling child in them. The verdict is that Namibia is magic for children, depending on how you dish it up. In every trip, in every direction we could think of, there are enough activity and adventure opportunities for any hyperactive child or bored teenager. Just choose your route and timing well.
But it is not all child’s play in this edition. We also introduce you to a fun new place, Teaterhuis in Tsumeb, to stop at en route to Etosha or Zambezi. We give you a closer look at goggas (insects) through a photographer’s macro lens. Pompie Burgers takes us on a river cruise with his usual quirky remarks and Willie Olivier shares some interesting anecdotes in his Travel Notes.
