🦁🌳 Here’s why Kruger should be on your bucket list:

1. Size and Scope: Kruger National Park spans nearly 20,000 square kilometers (7,700 square miles), making it one of Africa’s
largest game reserves.

2. Wildlife Diversity: The park is home to over 147 mammal species, including the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino) and more than 500 bird species.

3. Historical Significance: Established in 1898, Kruger is one of Africa’s oldest national parks and played a key role in the development of wildlife conservation in the region.

4. Ecosystem Variety: Kruger features a wide range of habitats, including savannas, woodlands, and riverine forests, supporting a diverse array of flora and fauna.

5. Anti-Poaching Efforts: The park employs a dedicated anti-poaching unit, equipped with advanced technology and trained personnel to protect endangered species.

7. Research Hub: Kruger is a center for wildlife research and conservation, with ongoing studies on animal behavior, ecology, and ecosystem management.

🌍 Why we love traveling in Namibia’s Low Season:

1. Fewer Crowds: During the low season, there are significantly fewer tourists. This means you can enjoy the vast landscapes, wildlife, and attractions with a sense of solitude and exclusivity.
2. Better Prices: Accommodation and tour prices are generally lower in the off-season. This makes it an ideal time for budget-conscious travelers to experience Namibia.
3. Unique Photography Opportunities: The low season, particularly the rainy season, offers dramatic skies, lush landscapes, and vibrant colors, which are perfect for photography. The contrast between the dry and wet seasons provides photographers with a diverse range of scenes to capture.
4. Wildlife Sightings: Contrary to what some might think, wildlife sightings can still be excellent during the low season. Animals tend to congregate around water sources, and the lush environment can make for stunning wildlife photographs.

These factors make traveling during Namibia’s low season an attractive option for those seeking a more intimate and affordable experience. 🌿🐘

Nooishof

Looking for a retreat in the middle of somewhere and nowhere? This is it. Welcome to Nooishof situated on the Sinclair Nature Reserve in the south of Namibia, somewhere between the giant sand dunes of Sossusvlei and the beautiful Tiras Mountains.

It's an elegant homestead and intimate stay in an area that can only be described as peaceful and relaxing. The entire place mimics the feeling in every way possible. It's a delight.

Did you know...

* Termite mounds (also called anthills) are huge thermostats. By opening and closing openings, done by termites during the night, the termites are able to control the temperature and humidity inside the mound.

* A termite mound is home to a population of termites between half a million and a million individuals.

* The mounds are made from mineral-rich soils, saliva and organic waste from fungus. This makes them a fertile place in an otherwise infertile environment.

* Prevalent in Namibia, termite mounds are found throughout the central regions of the country.

* All activities within the mound are regulated by a queen. She and the king are almost immobile and have to be supplied with food by worker termites in order to survive.

* Termites are social insects and although they may look like ants, are more closely related to the cockroach.

* There are thousands of different termite species found worldwide of which four Macrotermes species are found in Namibia. All four of which are known to build big mounds.

*Cheetah will often use the termite mounds for shade and as a lookout point.

Termite mounds are amazing to see and fascinating when you know what goes on inside them. A great spot for a souvenir photo too!
