Namibia Decemeber 2010 -January 2011

My mother grew up on a game/ cattle farm in Namibia until she went to university in South Africa. We still have allot of family in Namibia and for my grandmothers 80th birthday we decide to celebrate on the farm which the family used to own, the new owners run a hunting and guest farm now as well as still working with cattle. They invited the whole family to stay over new years which was really amazing.

I was able to see where my mother and all her siblings grew up and put pictures to stories I’ve always been told. I never imagined it could be so beautiful and isolated its literally 3 hours in any direction to any form of civilization that means no shops no malls nothing just pure wilderness, sunset and dramatic sky’s. You could really get lost here.. Literally and figuratively…

there are allot of photos so click on the more link there’s a mix of the farm then also of Windhoek itself.
