Planning a trip to Namibia and wondering what the best eSIM for Namibia is? Staying connected in Namibia is very different compared to most travel destinations. The country is huge, population density is extremely low and mobile network coverage can disappear quickly once you leave the main cities.

I have traveled multiple times around Namibia, road tripping between Windhoek, Etosha National Park, the Skeleton Coast and Sossusvlei. Distances are massive and once you leave town mobile signal can drop quickly, which makes choosing the right network important.

Safaris on the Chobe River | Zovu Elephant Lodge

Totally unexpected I ended up in the Zovu Elephant Lodge in the most northeastern point of the country. I just spent 3 weeks traveling in Namibia and was about to cross the border into Botswana. Well, that didn’t go as planned and before I realized I was on a boat safari in Chobe National Park, taking close up photos from elephants and giraffes while a big crocodile was sunbathing just a meter away.

My stay in the Zovu Elephant Lodge was very brief, but I had a total blast. Unfortunately I only had 1 free day in my busy schedule traveling overland in Africa, but the memories from Zovu Elephant Lodge and the safaris on the Chobe River will be vivid for a long time.

Off the beaten path in Namibia feels so weird to say, because isn’t that what Namibia stands for already? Being the second least densely populated country in the world, it is a great destination to get away from it all. But when you dig deeper you will find some extraordinary places to stay and one of them is the Namushasha River Lodge in the Caprivi Region.

Looking for the best things to do in Windhoek, Namibia? Namibia’s capital may not be as famous as the country’s epic deserts or safari parks, but Windhoek is where almost every Namibia adventure begins. From colonial landmarks and fascinating museums to lively markets, township tours and unique wildlife encounters, there are plenty of interesting places to visit in Windhoek.

I have visited Namibia several times and always start or end my trip in Windhoek. Over the years this city slowly grew on me.

While Windhoek may not be the most spectacular capital in Africa, it actually has a surprisingly cool mix of history, culture and local experiences. Spend a day exploring and you will discover German colonial architecture, colorful street markets, great local food spots and some unique things to do before continuing your trip across Namibia.

Responsible travel is a hot item and that obviously is a good thing. So now and then I get people asking what I think about my carbon footprint flying so much around the world. And yeah I definitely wish it would be way less, but what can I do? Stop taking planes? That obviously is kind of impossible so I contributed in my own way for a more sustainable world by joining the Namibia wildlife conservation project Oana Flora & Fauna.

You must think what kind of blog is that now? From flying first class to Namibia to hitchhiking in Namibia? That is a huge contrast! I admit, it totally is. But you know me: always in for an adventure and for everything a first time. Hitchhiking in Namibia was not planned but more or less born out of necessity. And what an adventure it turned out to be…

When you think about Namibia tours, you obviously think about Africa. And when we think about Africa we think about safari, right? Yes me too! But let me tell you Namibia is not only about safari. In fact some of the best tourist spots in Namibia have nothing to do with wildlife. What about Skeleton Coast, Namib Desert, the incredible sand dunes and Sossusvlei and Deadvlei?
