 Art colonies and craft centres in Namibia’s small towns (01.01.2010)
How does a sleepy little town, a mere wide spot in the road in the middle of Southern Africa, become an art colony, enticing both artists and visitors from around the world? Namibia’s Omaruru, which in the Herero language literally means ‘this is a place where the grass makes the cows’ milk sour,’ has morphed into a creative centre and a hotspot for both locals and tourists.

 Islands in Africa (01.09.2009)
Hidden island retreats
On tiny islands in the storied Zambezi, Chobe and Kwando rivers, we found three luxury hideaways: Islands in Africa’s Susuwe, Impalila and Ntwala, each in its own distinctive setting. It was impossible to choose a favourite, so we’ve decided to revisit them all the next time we’re in Namibia’s Caprivi, a narrow finger of land that borders Angola, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana. They are ideal stops for trips onward to Vic Falls, the Okavango, or Etosha.
