Our 15 day trip to Namibia ends today. As we sit in the airport waiting to leave, I can only think this has been the trip of a lifetime. We spent 9 days hunting with Nick Nolte Safaris, who I can't say enough good things about! Truly top notch in every aspect. Nick has access to 500,000 acres of hunting area, and the game was plentiful. Isabel Nolte runs the place very efficiently, and the meals and accommodations were excellent. After our hunt, we rented a car and drove to the Erindi Game Preserve for two days of photo Safari; truly an awe inspiring experience. Next, we drove out to the Swapokmund on the Skeleton Coast. What a beautiful place! We drove about an hour and a half north to see the seal colony at Cape Cross where there must have been at least 10,000 seals. Quite a sight indeed. In the afternoon, we rode the quad bikes on the sand dunes; truly a must-do activity. Then it was onward back to Windhoek. We spent our last night at a place called the Airport Lodge. It was a great place because it was well outside town in the mountains and very quiet. We spent our last night enjoying the Milky Way under the beautiful African sky. Namibia had been so terrific; the people are so friendly and the country is very accommodating to hunters. Bringing my rifle and ammunition was a breeze. We can't wait to come back!!!
