Amazing faces of Papua New Guniea. So much history, so much culture. Such a privilege to see! #gorokashow #papuanewguinea #lovepng #travelphotography #traveler #natgeoyourshot #natgeoadventure #addictedtotravel #bucketlist #bucketlisttravel #photooftheday
I love nudibranches, flatworms and all things tiny and bright! Couldn’t even keep up how many we found in Milne Bay. The record was 22 in one dive 😄 #papuanewguinea #milnebay #tawali #scubadiving #scuba #dive #diveaddicts #diveaddiction #scubaphoto #scubalife #divephotography
Fantastical creatures found in Milne Bay Papua New Guinea : weedy scorpion fish / fairy crab / anenome shrimp / yellow leaf fish 😄 #diveaddicts #papuanewguinea #divepng #pngscuba #macrodiving #scubadiving #divephotography #muckdiving
The incredible desert adapted elephants of Damaraland. These elephants can go several days without water and survive by regurgitating water held in their stomachs. They take dust baths instead of water bath to keep cool and protect their skin #adventuresofgandt #namibia #damaraland #africanescapades #overlandafrica #elephants #elephantsofinstagram #explore #travelphotography #wanderlust #africaroadtrip #travelhappy
Wilderness Safari's Damaraland Camp was a sight for sore eyes (and sore bums) after travelling 250km with no shocks over 4x4 roads to make it there! #wearewilderness #damaraland #namibia #wanderlust #explore #traveler #travelblogger #livealifeyoulove
Heading south through the Purros Valley we found one of the mysterious "Lone Men" that have been hidden throughout the Kaokoland region by an unknown artist. We also found the horizon filled with mysterious mirages and mountains colored with amazing blends of red/orange/purples #namibia #natureisamazing #yourshot #traveler #overlanders #overlandafrica #roadtripafrica #wanderlust #livealifeyoulove
Our last night of bush camping at the southern edge of Kaokoland. I loved having the freedom to choose our own path and be completely isolated in the wild! Bush camping was one of my favorite experiences of the whole trip! #namibia #travelnamibia #starphotography #starstruck
Kaokoland Day 5: Faced with another challenge! One of the shocks snaps and knocks the rear spring out of place. We remove the damaged shock and get the spring back in place. Then, (can you imagine!) the second shock starts to show signs of imminent failure. To prevent it from snapping and causing more damage, Garrett tries to fasten it in place. No luck - this also has to be completely removed. Now we have no shocks!
Heading south out of Kaokoland you will pass Blue Drum and Orange Drum which over time have morphed into quirky art installations. At Blue Drum you'll find a "satellite phone booth"." At Orange Drum you'll find many knick knacks, a journal and a "fridge." We left a Polaroid in the journal and a beer in the fridge for the next adventurer passing through! #bluedrum #orangedrum #namibia #adventure #adventuresofgandt #wanderlust #overlandafrica #overlanders #roadtrip
More highlights from around the Kunene River #himbaland
The Himba culture is endlessly fascinating. They have maintained their semi nomadic pastoral lifestyle in the remote mountains of northern Namibia. Women cover themselves head to toe with otjize paste - a mix of ochre, butterfat and shrubs to cleanse the skin, provide sun protection, moisturizer, and repel mosquitos. #natgeoyourshot #everydayafrica #namibia #himba #wanderlust #travelphotography #travelblogger #roadtrip
The Herero people can be found in Namibia, Angola and Botswana. The distinctive traditional dress of Herero women includes a long gown, multiple petticoats, long puffy sleeves and most importantly a horned headdress that pays homage to their all important cattle #namibia #travelblogger #travelphotography #adventure #everydayafrica #natgeoyourshot #natgeotravel
Beautiful Himba kids who came to greet us because we inadvertently camped in their front yard! I would have expected them to be annoyed with us but they were curious and excited! #himba #namibia #visitnamibia #overlanders #explore #everydayafrica
Kaokoland Day 4: We realized our U joint cracked (again) right as we entered Marienfluss Valley....one of the most remote areas of Namibia. Thankfully we found a local Himba mechanic who was willing to pull the needed part off a Defender used at a lodge in the area for our car. It's amazing how things work out sometimes - we are so grateful for the people who have helped us in so many ways on our journey! #helpwanted #grateful #landylover #landroverdefender #landylover #overlanders #overlandafrica #roadtripafrica #roadtrip #serendipity
