We were only in Brandberg for 24 hours, but it was enough time to hike to the famous white lady cave painting and see five desert elephants along the way!

The white lady is a 2000+ year old rock painting on a small rock overhang, deep within The Brandberg, Namibia's highest mountain. 

The rest of the time we were hanging out by the pool, drinking cold Tafel lagers, watching the sunset and taking photos with Carlos, a local suricate that they’ve nicknamed “everybody’s darling” - it’s easy to see why.
