Namibia - Kaokoland - May 2007

We arrive on the Himba land...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Three wild elephants...

Daniel leaves the car to approach those enormous animals from less than 15 meters. He attends a fight between 2 out of them...Catherine and the children are a bit afraid since they cannot see Daniel for a while...Incredible !

 

 

 

 

 

 

The valleys are full of birds...

 

 

 

 

 

 

We stay in a camp close to a cristal copper mine. Marius, the owner, has set up a camp which is reachable by a 4X4 track, in the middle of a wild nature. A real paradise.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When Daniel explains the scene with the elephants to Marius...he cannot believe it. Elephants are wild and extremely dangerous. Marius lives in Namibia since a long time and would never try this experience...Daniel explains that the wind was blowing in the right direction...Marius laugh...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Marius nous fait visiter la mine. Il en extrait du cristal de cuivre qu'il revend pour des collectionneurs européens ...

 

 

There are bats in the mine...flying over our heads...

 

 

Stones will join other souvenirs...

 

 

 

Nature discovery with the family....

 

 

 

 

 

 

In front of the sun set...
