What city have you found that has some unique culture?

Campsites in Namibia are generally well equipped, easy to get to, and affordable. Upon reaching our first site, we were happy to find WiFi, hot showers, a restaurant, shops with food and water, and even electric outlets. These amenities seemed pretty standard across most of our campsites with few exceptions. Our time camping was very memorable and will stay with us for our lifetimes. The landscapes were beautiful, and some camps we had all to ourselves. Come see all of our Namibia camping sites and more at bigtinyworld.com.

Spitzkoppe, Namibia, is a beautiful park of large rock formations in the middle of a long empty desert, named for the incredible mountain that dominates it. It was hard to miss, as we could see it from over a hundred kilometers away. Known as the Matterhorn of Africa, it stands at 670 m (2,200 ft) above the desert floor at an altitude of 1,728 m (5,669 ft) above sea level. We camped there for one night and were able to explore most of the park. It felt like we were in another world.

Travel Tip Tuesday: Traveling on the fly.

Spring is a time of renewal with fresh leaves on trees and beautiful flowers blooming. We have found many tulip and rose gardens, as well as lavender farms around our home city. These are fun places to visit on those first sunny days we get in the spring. Where do you go to see spring flowers?
