Namibia Road Trip Part 1: Windhoek & Etosha | Brighde Reed

Send us Fan Mail Link for the show notes We kick off a brand-new three-part Namibia scouting series with an epic self-drive journey from Windhoek to Etosha National Park. In Part 1, we share what it’s really like to travel independently through Namibia — from getting to grips with a fully equipped 4x4 and navigating vast distances, to staying at spectacular safari lodges, scouting future World Vegan Travel experiences, and testing how well remote luxury properties cater for vegan travelers. Along the way, there are unforgettable wildlife encounters with lions, cheetahs, rhinos, giraffes and elephants, a five-and-a-half-hour drive across the famous Etosha Pan, and some very honest conversations about why roasted vegetables alone don’t quite cut it after a full day on safari. You’ll also hear about Windhoek, Onguma, Ongava, plant-based dining in the bush, and what goes into scouting a destination before World Vegan Travel brings a group there. This is Part 1 of our three-part Namibia adventure. Coming up in Part 2: desert-adapted elephants, ancient rock engravings, Damaraland, a night beneath the Milky Way, and a dramatic journey toward Namibia’s Atlantic coast. 🐘 Botswana & Cape Town Safari Adventure 2027 is now open for booking!
