Hi from Windhoek!

I promised you a surprise and here it is:

Today we (a friend and me) arrived in Windhoek, the capital of Namibia and hired a car with all the equipment we need. Tomorrow we will heading to the north, to the wild. It's dry season at the moment, so all animals are gathered at the few waterholes so we know where we can find them. Our destination is the Etosha National Park in the North of Namibia. There we will work togeter with the rangers on a research about the changing of the Migration with the climate change.

First impressions dor you:

Windhoek, a lovely City full of extremes

Our Car, we are sleeping in the tent on the roof of the car

Unfortunately there is no internet in the wild so you have to wait for about a week for the next Post/report from Africa...

Thanks for all your support, see you in a week ;-)
