Our Trip To Namibia

We entrusted our journey to Namibia, as well as our visits to other African destinations, to a specialist travel agency. It gave us peace of mind knowing that everything would run smoothly, which is invaluable in a country where you are unfamiliar with local conditions. They designed the itinerary exactly according to our wishes, even including stops in Botswana's Chobe National Park and at Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. However, our first surprise came immediately after landing in Windhoek. At immigration, we were asked to present our children's birth certificates, even though we were travelling as a family sharing the same surname. Fortunately, we had copies stored on our phones and, after a short delay, were allowed to continue. Next came collecting the car and receiving instructions on how to change a tyre—apparently a common experience in Namibia.
