A Welcome Oasis

There seems to be a direct correlation between distance from the ocean and air temperature. Our next stopover was at Khowarib Lodge, some 40km south of Sesfontein, and man, was it hot. We pulled into our campsite, set up camp in super-quick time and whipped on our cozzies. We had to cool down – fast!

The pool area was grassed and surrounded by acacia trees teeming with bird life. Reading, blogging, napping and watching the birds, we spent all afternoon at this heavenly oasis.

As the sun dipped westward, we made our way back to camp and watched the moon rise over the Hoanib River.

  1. Would love to see all the birds. Is that a Kalk Bay frock? Most places seem quiet, are you sometimes the only people there?
