Hakusembe to Bushbaby Lodge

From Hakusembe, we took the road to Grootfontein, a farming area in Namibia.  We refueled and bought some supplies before moving on towards Tsumeb and Etosha.On the way to Tsumeb we passed a notice board advertising Bush baby Safaris.  We entered and drove to the farmhouse and reception on a good gravel road through the bush.

At the reception we found their price to be on target and we left for the camping sites.  We found a number of large, spacious campsites under shady trees on green grass and decided to stay over for a few days if the internet reception is any good.

The owner visited us and invited us to the lodge and to use the free WiFi they have there.  That sealed it for us and we decided to stay a few days working at the lodge on the mountain, which has a fantastic view over the bush below and also a waterhole where the animals congregated for water.

This is a place we recommend for a stay-over during the week.  During weekends they allow day visitors in who tend to be quite noisy and somewhat unruly, so for people who like to spend quiet time in nature, weekends is not the time to visit Bushbaby Safaris.
