Toulouse to Tolou's, Southwest France to South West Africa, these are some highlights of Harry's Big Namibian Adventure in March 2009. I hope you enjoy the photos; feel free to leave comments.


I had long admired photos of the world's largest sand dunes in Namibia and so when I heard about the workshop being run there by our friend Nicole Palmer just a few days after we were due to leave South Africa, I thought it would be worth the wait. I had nine days before the workshop started and so decided to see some other parts of Namibia. I flew from Cape Town to the capital of Namibia,Windhoek, and picked up a 4X4 SUV.







I started in Windhoek and drove north passing termite mounds, springbok and ingenious weaver birds.




My first destination was Etosha National Park where I hoped to see some game.
There had been a lot of rain for several months, which meant the animals had no need to come to the water holes.

South African national symbol and tasty dinner item.








Burchell's Zebra

As yet un-tasted.
