Today was another long drive to our final two day stay at the Okonjima Luxury Bush Camp lodge just north of Windhoak (where we would finish our trip that Sunday). On the drive we stopped for a look at the world’s largest meteor (Hoba Meteorite). it is composed of approximately 84% iron plus 16% nickel with a weight around 64 tons. This big piece of metal has no crater which means it probably hit water instead of land.

And of course, more animals as we continued our drive. I had noticed that there were many groups of Common Impala, all males in each group.

As for the lodge, each one up to now had been getting better and better. I turns out our travel guides had saved the best for last as you can see in the pictures starting with the entry to my rooms. The bedroom had open windows looking out to where the animals were wondering around. The washroom itself was pretty fancy. And it even had a separate room that was my own private viewing lounge open to the same animal area, complete with power, fan and a refrigerator (great lounging chairs). Of course they supplied bird seed for the gamefowl hanging just outside the windows (the birds apparently knew to expect treats).

One lesson learned while there, don’t leave windows completely open especially when not in the room. I came back from dinner and found that what seemed to be 100s of tiny flies were hanging out all over my floor. Most were dead and the rest seemed very sluggish and dying. It took a while to clean them up. I was careful not to go barefoot that night with the lights off.

This lodge was a place that would be easy to come to for a week to rest and read or write and just hang out. Not to mention great food and people (again!).
