Hi all, My wife and I are thinking about visiting Namibia in a year or two. She wants to see animals, and I want to see plants. Where should we go in Namibia? When should we go so I can see some plants growing or, preferably, blooming? Any tour companies or guides to recommend? Any special parks, reserves, refuges, etc. that are best for seeing animals? Where to stay? (I am not into roughing it in the bush.) We have lots of time to make plans. Thanks, Jim Shields in Westfield, Indiana USA where thankfully Anthropogenic Global Warming is finally reasserting itself. Some of the ice even started melting off my driveway today! ************************************************* Jim Shields USDA Zone 5 Shields Gardens, Ltd. P.O.
