@@peregrino9154 I wait tables. I was here in June. Priorities. Also, I feel proud supporting the staff at this place who did an outstanding job. Not that I have anything against rich people, since they provide jobs and income for everyone else, and poor people are mostly envious and greedy and offer nothing to society. Prove me wrong? Remember, I'm a poor person.

After 25 years self-employed in the signage industry i was fortunate to make a career change and become a freelance german speaking tourguide as from 2017 and was thus blessed to have stayed at most lodges in Namibia, Botswana and Vic Falls. Sadly the cursed Plandemic put a sudden end to what were becoming the best years of my life. Thanks for bringing back some awesome memories of my travels through Namibia ; the land of wide open spaces

Most unexpectedly, I was moved to tears more than once as I watched this video. There is a haunting timelessness to this kind of desolate beauty particularly when viewed against such a crystal clear sky. I was reminded of Shelley’s poem : “My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!' Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away."

My wish is that you are able to experience this in person. And it doesn't even have to be this particular lodge, you can take a tent and go camp, but just get yourself to this dessert, and prepare a playlist with your best songs. There is some mythical surreal energy in the sand and stones under your feet. I was shooting a film for 2 months on the orange river, quite a bit south of sossuvlei, but its where this desert starts, and i had a couple of Odesza albums on repeat, what a spiritual awakening it was. Someone needs to scatter my ashes over the brandberg one day please

I was booked to do a solo guided trip to Namibia in 2/2020 and barely 12 hours before I was to leave my home in Tennessee my dear twin sister had a stroke. Thankfully she has recovered! At that time the &Beyond resort was closed for renovation. Maybe I can consider a new trip to Namibia now that Covid seems to be diminishing! I grew up in the desert of California and love the landscape but this eclipses anything in the United States!
