Below are some photos from my recent trip to Namibia (southern Africa). We traveled up north to a town called Ondangwa, then on to Etosha National Park – my first safari! Definitely a country worth visiting, and it’s not too far from South Africa or Victoria Falls, which should definitely be on everyone’s to-see list! Also, I’d like to give a special plug to the capital city, Windhoek, which was surprisingly pleasant. Sort of a mix between southern/central California and Europe with great wining and dining options and gorgeous golden, rolling hills. -k

Brai (BBQ) in Etosha - is that a worm on my fork?
Lots of meat at the Brai (the goat was THE best)
An elephant near the watering hole at our lodge...elephants, giraffes, rhinos, and more showed up throughout the night!
My room at the lodge (with mosquito netting)

On our drive through the park, we came upon a lion who apparently wasn't very hungry.
A very lonely, but beautiful tree.
This zebra was actually that close, one of the first we saw...and definitely not the last.
This giraffe decided to cross in front of us during our drive through Etosha.
I loved this hut, which was in the middle of a village/compound we visited.
Cows' heads made into a sort of sculpture. Very bizarre, yet oddly artistic.
One of the schools we visited...isn's the orange door fabulous?
The outside of the school. Each of the buildings had a different trim, very colorful.
A group of girls at the school did a traditional dance for us...they were absolutely precious and very talented!
This girl was the cutest...
Bottles of marula oil at a women's co-op that we visited; I've been told that it's great for cooking.
