Personal highlights
- Garies Rest Camp: small bed and breakfast between Rehoboth and Sesriem
- Kosie the Baster: mixture of European settlers and indigenous African women
- Rock Carvings: carved on flat stones, not on hills like Matobos or Tsodilo
- Mystic Symbols: mostly unidentified patterns instead of animals or humans
- Rhino Stone: a strong big rock where Rhinos scratched their bellies
