Says who we do not cater for all the world? Wolfgang and friends picked up a group of tourists at Holoog Train Station [do you know where it is? - somewhere between here and nowhere!] and took them to Hobas View Point for a spectacular day.

Somebody phoned, asking me if we are only a way of transport to various destinations or how would I describe our service.At first I was astonished for the type of question posed to me, but then I started thinking about it...! What are we? Who are we? What do we stand for?And that is exactly what I wish to hear from our passengers! I would really love to get your answer to the above question...

It is that time of the year again! Namibia is blooming in its beautiful splendour and all the world is coming here for a well earned holiday.Keetmanshoop is die centre of all the buzz! To visit the Fish River Canyons remains the dream of many a soul. To experience this sight is not something you and I will ever forget. We serve a mighty God, don't we?I wish I could share this with whole the world!

Have you ever been in the situation that you knew without any doubt what the answer to a certain question is, but you just cannot do what is expected of you? What if you know that you are taking the wrong turn in your life but you do not know how to correct it? What if...!

Some people might think it's not possible to enjoy yourself to the fullest during a long weekend, especially those living in Keetmanshoop. Isn't it that you get used to the beauty and not notice it until someone new comes along and talks about it?Well, Keetmanshoop is such a place. Hundreds of tourists pay to come here and enjoy our beautiful scenery while we don't notice what is around us. I'm

What a lovely place to be at this time of the year - Keetmanshoop! It's green, it's not too hot, the nights are cool - it's just great to be here!We are looking forward to a trip to the Fish River Canyons in a day or two. I just cannot imagine what it looks like after the marvelous rains a month ago. We'll be sure to post some pictures to share with you.

I really only have a question that has been bugging me now for some tome:I you are planning your vacation and you ask for quotations, do you ever get beack to the businesses whose offers you are reclining and thank them for their effort?A little feedback of why you are not accepting their qoutation might be of big help, you know?Ja, as I said, this is just a matter of good manners, I think...!

A good friend of mine directed me to this site. And this is exactly what I want to do - invite you to visit Sandscapes Namibia BEFORE you come to Namibia.

Masimo was in Namibia about seventeen years ago. His mission was to visit the Fish River Canyons amongst others. But...! A bus accident and serious injuries later, he had to return to Italy. It took him many years to recover of a back injury and then he started saving and planning his next holiday in Namibia.On Thursday he hired the Aetos bus and a driver and off they drove to the Canyons. It was

How is it possible? This is one thing that my little brain cannot comprehend!How on earth can tourists come to Keetmanshoop and elsewhere in Namibia without any set plans and arrangements? It strikes me blind to think that anybody can do this and then expect to be on a certain spot at a certain time.An elderly lady just phoned me in connection with transport to the canyons. Poor thing!

The Spitzkoppe Fossil Trails takes you to many sites where the fossilized remains of the primitive reptile Mesosaurus tenuidens are exposed. These aquatic reptiles predates the more well-known Karoo fossils by many millions of years, and lived in shallow embayments of a central sea separating Africa and South America. Their numerous thin, fine teeth suggest that they were filter feeders, probably

THE QUIVER TREE from http://www.quivertreeforest.com/guivertree.htmThe quiver tree or "Kokerboom" is one of the most interesting and characteristic plants of the very hot and dry parts of Namibia and the northwestern part of the Cape Province in South Africa. Actually it is no tree, but an aloe plant. The botanical name is ALOE DICHOTOMA. Dichotoma refers to the forked branches of the plant. The

When was the last time that you have experienced a 'WOW' moment? Jip, it makes you think, doesn't it?My 'WOW' moment today was when I saw my 'reconstructed' website. What a wonderful surprise it was. We are really extatic about our 'new' website and hope that you will feel the same about it.May you all have a 'WOW' moment every day! And while we're on it - why don't you share such a moment with

They say we are never too old to learn something new. This happened to me when I took Laura and friends to the Fish River Canyons. What an entertaining group they were! Although we slided and skidded through water and mud and only arrived there after three hours [170 km!], they still enjoyed every moment of the trip and just could not get enough of the scenery.This is when they built their

Never have I imagined how much my thoughts direct the flow of my life in every possible way!Many of us have the habbit of saying, "This is going to be a BAD day!" And then, of course, it is a bad, bad day. Why don't you try it the other way round? Predict a wonderful day and believe

They entered the reception area as if they meant business coming to Namibia! Tired, but eager to make the best of their week long trip to southern Namibia. A week later they were on their way back with the horns of two kudu bulls as evidence of their great hunting expedition.And I wonder... Did they take the time to get to know this wonderful country with its wonderful people? Were they able to

What an experience to visit the Fish River Canyons 170 km from Keetmanshoop. No words can describe the piece, quiet and beauty that awaits one there. Our guests arrived late the afternoon before and had a quiet time in the hotel. With picnic baskets packed, we left and six the morning. Yes, we of course had our early morning coffee before we tackled the 170 km gravel road.After much ooohs and

Today I again thought about the desperate phone call I got from a travel agency in Johannesburg. I had to pick up a French lady at the Quiver Tree Forest and take her to the Hosea Kutako Airport near Windhoek - a trip of 500 km.That did not seem like a strange idea at all, as I do this kind of things regularly. What I heard next nearly broke my heart. This lady was on holiday with her friends.

I want to tell you about the dreams of my yesteryear and I would like to get to know your dreams as well.I was raised in the Namib Desert on a farm not far from Sossusvlei.
