Wild horses, rust-red sand dunes, gorgeous sunsets, and 110 degrees Fahrenheit in the shade...Namibia is a brown-red desert that's home to zebras, flamingos (on the Atlantic coast), baboons, and - for one week - us.
After a seven-hour drive from Capte Town, we crossed into Namibia and headed straight for Fish River Canyon. Because it was Christmas, almost all lodging was booked. But we lucked out and found a gorgeous desert lodge with - yes - air conditioning. A treat for those three nights in the desert.
We also encountered members of the San tribe at the Living Museum outside Windhoek. They took us for a bush walk and taught us how to track impalas. Not that we were hoping to catch one.
