Namibia for experience nature

South Africa, Namibia and other countries are separate.

He believes that Namibia is not a public tour of the country for more unique experience for those who need the tourists. In Namibia, you will find modern facilities and ancient African cultures co-exist. Namibia is not suitable for night life and beach resort, but an experience of nature, and deep into the soul of a person’s destination is good for purification of the mind, that anything can be diluted, just like at home.

Free ride in the desert of Namibia

Desert hinterland, there are off-road vehicle terminal camel tree, we start the desert on foot from here.

In the sun, we finally arrived at the Namib-Naukluft National Park hotel, all the way back Aeolian large that even the vehicles are playing lights during the day.

Namibia throughout the area of 820,000 square kilometers, almost twice the Sichuan Province of China, the population was only 200 million people, is the world’s countries with the lowest population density (0.74 persons / sq km), while the same sparsely populated Australia is 1.6 people / sq km, Canada is 2.1 people / sq km.

Because half of the country covered the gravel, no perennial rivers and lakes with abundant water, population, the more concentrated in the cities, the distance between cities is also very far away, often to rush from one destination to another destination at least 34 hours away. Our departure from the capital Windhoek, is the sunny noon, to reach Namib-Naukluft National Park where the hotel already sunset soon. In Namibia a week’s time, most of the time spent on the road all the way So tired, but this is definitely the most memorable of my life journey of one, because this is not only a paradise for wildlife, it also has another another person staggering tourism resources: the world’s most ancient sand dune – Namib Desert, which is an inspiring and red sand sea. Here is the photographic world longing for paradise photographer, a famous wildlife photographer Luo on had been there 4 times.

Namib (Namib) in the local language is “remote dry plains,” the meaning of Namibia (Namibia) in the country were taken from the Namib. Namib Desert is a masterpiece of the Benguela Current. Hundreds of millions of years ago, the impact of the Atlantic coast of the Benguela Current, due to low temperature, evaporation of sea water not only, but also “absorb” the moisture from the sea blowing through the million years of nature’s changes, dry hot wind will land in the mountains weathering of rocks to sand and dust, Namib sand sea to become a. Namib Desert are 100 million years of history, is considered the world’s oldest desert. The Namib-Naukluft National Park will focus on all the essence of the Namib Desert.

Rich humor of Namibians

In South Africa and Namibia at the junction of one called “Na Kupu” the South African border control stations, placed a very interesting device: three steel cross-support, formation of about one meter off the ground a rack in the middle with chains hung a stone, the shelf is also fixed with a wooden plaque, above the English words “weather forecasting device” on.

How can an ordinary stone forecasting weather? Wooden sign on with a puzzled reporter read the text can not help but help laughing, Looking at the above he wrote: “If the stone is wet: rain; stone is warm: sunny; stone white: the snow; stone is moving : wind; stone disappeared: there is fog. “This is the South African border police had a” humorous performance art “in the desolate frontier travelers for the long journey brought surprise and joy.

Trip down a few days, the reporter who found the same enthusiasm this for Namibia, where often inadvertently found a few lines of text in particular, makes a knowing smile at the same time impressed. As an independent in Windhoek busy street, there is a monopoly Bushmen art shops, Menlian not, shop but deep. Since many works of art are fragile items, so in a glass booth, the owner who put a sign that says “damaged goods means that you have agreed to purchase.” Short line of words, not only to remind the customers to be more careful, they will not make people feel awkward manner. Port city of Walvis Bay has a unique restaurant built in the sea, visitors to think the restaurant must be a frame in the sea corridor for safety reasons, this restaurant also hiring professional security personnel. In the corridor close to a yellow warning signs at the entrance that says “security warning: You have monitored in the CCTV, please smile!” To see such ingenuity of warnings, probably did not intend to consumption people would not help laughing, and then on the inside looking forward to the friendly warm atmosphere, this is a smart business move.

Driving south from Windhoek, about 500 km, with seat called Keetmanshoop city, although only 2 million people in the city, but it is the southern region of Namibia transport hub and economic center. After reporters here, staying in a Afrikaners (descendants of Dutch in southern Africa) run the family hotel. Anthony named man of the house, already retired, he was very proud to tell reporters that he was in good health, just from the desert no man’s land “adventure” back. Hostess Mingjiaolita, 53, wearing glasses, a brown short hair date. Large house, the unique garden, warm host, and a thin German shepherd, gave reporters had an unforgettable impression. Naturally, a reporter was impressed, and also read funny text trinkets. In the living room in this hotel close to a white paper that says “If you are satisfied with our service, please tell others; If not, please tell us!” Restaurant on the wall hangs a written “perfect people “on the old wooden plaque, Rita told reporters that she and Anthony married father gave her a gift. Reporters look closely, wooden plaque on the list a “perfect person” should possess the quality of the final conclusion is that people “either paralyzed or dead.” It seems this is Rita’s father in-law gently reminded: Nobody’s perfect, not too demanding on his son.

About to leave, the reporter asked Rita, the wall of a written, “to sell her husband, together with the remote control” wooden sign bearing the words mean? Rita replied, smiling: fell in love with since her husband retired after watching TV all day, holding the remote control is not doing nothing, she felt the cold, and so on, when Anthony sent a piece of birthday wooden plaque to him , as a birthday gift and gently warned him about. Reporter asked her how effective, Rita and shake her head, but found that not only did not work Antonio recently become addicted to the text-messaging, text messages often used to house Hupenghuanyou to travel or eat barbecue. So she intends birthday this year, when her husband, then gave him a wooden plaque made gift that says “sell her husband, together with the phone,” the words. Finished, Rita has laughed together
