For our Christmas-leave diary we’ll revive our series Where We Sleep, starting with Ghanzi. We camp two nights at Thakadu (Aardvark). This game park is so successful with the normally very shy eland – the biggest antelope in Africa - that they walk around your tent from sundown till sunup. Nothing better to start a holiday then swinging in your hammock while hearing barking geckos and freckled nightjars, and seeing eland and bats move around.
Being in the neighbourhood means a visit to Ghanzi Crafts to admire the always renewed collection – and buy a thing or two, three… Especially the Ostrich-shell jewellery the San make is so beautiful!
It also means seeing Birthe, who runs the crafts-project. She lives on Maud’s dream-plot:10 hectare with a house on it in the game park. How’s that for enough room for dogs, cats, horses, vegetables…
