Horse Graveyard / Pferdefriedhof In Namib @ Swakopmund

Horses resting… in peace and quiet

no category, General, Travel AfricaBy Albert Voigts von Schütz7. August 2025

A place with no sign, but full of history… There are desert excursions around Swakopmund where you pass by an old, barely visible burial site. It is easy to miss, but historically significant. I clearly remember a lecture during my guide training, given by Dr Friedhelm von Ludwiger. He spoke about this place, known as…

Aardvark, not a pig

no category, Facts about Mammals, General, Nature ConservationBy Albert Voigts von Schütz1. May 2025

Leaving the farm is always a little like dying.Our life in tourism – always “on the road” – and the simple fact that the children cannot attend school out in the countryside severely limits our time in what we like to call our „happy place“. Admittedly, it’s been a while, but the story of the…

Your Eyes in the Wild – Looking After Binoculars & Cameras

no categoryBy Albert Voigts von Schütz29. March 2025

Wash your hands before you grab the gear! On every safari, there’s a lot of spraying, rubbing, and slathering – but far too little soap and water involved. Insect repellents and sunscreen may protect your skin, but they’re absolutely brutal on camera bodies and binoculars. I’ve felt genuine heartbreak seeing rubber grips peel off or…

Zebrarettungsring

Safety, Wanderlust, and Visa Woes

no categoryBy Albert Voigts von Schütz10. March 2025

At the last travel fair, I was frequently asked: “Is it safe to travel to Namibia?” My answer was always the same: yes—provided you drive carefully and use a reliable vehicle. But that wasn’t their real concern. They were referring to crime. And yet, something crucial is often overlooked. Not only are the people of…

Leopard tortoises – wise, patient, and often thirsty.

General, Nature Conservation, Reptiles, Insects etc.By Albert Voigts von Schütz3. December 2024

Using the ruler function on Google Earth, one can determine the exact distance between two points. Nomtsas and Voigtsgrund, the place where the tortoise originally came from, are 68 km apart. My father received a leopard tortoise as a gift when he was a child. Of course, such things shouldn’t be done, but back then,…

African Broadbill Male / Schwarzscheitel Breitrachen Männlich

African Broadbill, loud with winged noise

General, Birds & BirdingBy Albert Voigts von Schütz3. December 2024

It sounds like a dinosaur, but it’s actually a tiny bird that, admittedly, has a slightly broader beak—though still small—in relation to its head size. The following theory is considered confirmed by many, but renowned ornithologists such as Ian Sinclair wish to question it based on their own observations and research, or at least leave…
