Namibia, end to end, with the family in a 4×4
2,500 km from Windhoek to Etosha and back — desert, dune, coast and open savanna, all in one country the size of France and Spain combined.
Namibia was a first for me in more than one sense: my first time in the Africa of open land and unmanaged distance, and the first big trip we planned as a family, with two young daughters. It is one of the few places on the continent where self-driving with children is not only feasible but genuinely the right way to go.
“I had no interest in a trip built around a single set piece. Here, the driving itself is the itinerary.”
Fifteen days, six landscapes, two flat tires, and one missing leopard that will make us come back again. See the full route and map →
