WWS: Popa Falls (Namibia)


Camping with six boys, what more can a woman wish for? We'll try to upload a video-clip of camp-mom with her sixth boy bathing in the Popa Falls. That's where we camp with Hamish and his two sons, both accompanied by a friend. Falls is a big word for the small rapids when you've been to the Suriname jungle and the Victoria Falls, but it is a lovely spot on the banks of the Okavango River in Namibia, just across the Botswana border. Visiting the nearby game park we don't see the sable antelope, desperately wished for by Mpho & Maud, but we do visit the Big Baobab and see enough other worthwhile game.


Back at the campsite Bram & Maud finally learn how to make decent papathas thanks to Mpho's friend. The ones we made without proper lessons better be forgotten... In the end the only setback is a severe lack of grrrls, something the adolescents are by now as interested in as mom's two 50 yrrr old boys. All the poor guys get is a chameleon that insists sleeping in their tent.
