21 mars : la fête nationale de la Namibie
La Namibie a été un des derniers pays à obtenir son indépendance. L’ancien Sud-Ouest africain allemand, théâtre du premier génocide du XXe siècle, a été occupé par l’Afrique du Sud en 1915. Après la défaite allemande de 1918, la colonie allemande a été confiée à l’Afrique du Sud par la SDN. Elle a administré le pays jusqu’en 1990. L’ONU avait adopté une résolution en 1978 prévoyant l’émancipation du pays. il a fallu une décennie à l’Afrique du Sud pour accepter de mettre en œuvre la résolution. La transition de la Namibie vers l'indépendance a commencé en 1989 et s'est terminée le 21 mars 1990, lorsque le pays a officiellement obtenu son indépendance de l'Afrique du Sud. Le Jour de l'Indépendance (Indépendance Day) est la fête nationale de la Namibie. La fête est marquée par des défilés, des fêtes de rue, des compétitions sportives et d'autres événements festifs organisés dans tout le pays.
le Dr Sam Nujoma devenant président fondateur d'un État indépendant et souverain, la République de Namibie. Le président Nujoma a démissionné en 2005 après avoir accompli trois mandats. Une transition démocratique en douceur du pouvoir a suivi lorsque Hifikepunye Pohamba a été élu président en novembre 2004. En novembre 2014, le Dr Hage G. Geingob a été élu président alors qu'il était Premier ministre. Le Dr Hage Geingob a été nommé président de la Namibie le 21 mars 2015. Il est mort en février 2024, Nangolo Mbumba, le vice-président, lui a succédé.
Cette année, la célébration du 34e anniversaire de l'indépendance de la Namibie a lieu à Katima Mulilo, une première historique pour la région du Zambèze. En effet, Les célébrations du Jour de l'Indépendance se déroulent à tour de rôle entre les régions. En 2024, l’événement a lieu sous le thème « Un peuple uni pour la prospérité ».

尚比亞Livingstone去納米比亞Windhoek的過境巴士
現在從尚比亞利文斯頓Livingstone去納米比亞文豪克Windhoek的Intercape長途巴士已經改走穿越波札那的路線。
我沒有再次確認是我的疏失,以前查過的資料是intercape巴士只過一個海關,尚比亞和納米比亞之間的Katima Mulilo,最近要查的東西太多,忘了再次確認疫情之後的狀況。
我事前先到利文斯頓的新大巴車站(inter-city bus terminal)詢問巴士時刻,Intercape是由UBZ巴士櫃檯代售車票,我問了巴士出發日期和價錢之後就沒再多細問,以為就是每週日、三、五的早上八點大巴直接去,票價是750K。
然後反而是在隔壁的Oasis窗口詢問比較多,一來Oasis沒有自己的網站,在網路上也沒找到什麼資料,所以問比較多。
知道他們是中午12點出發,用小巴把乘客送到Katima,然後等從Lusaka和其他城市過來的客人都到了後,統一從Katima Mulilo下午四點大巴出發去Windhoek。
他們從利文斯頓去Katima的小巴也是一週只有三班,但是從Katima Mulilo去文豪克Windhoek的大巴卻是天天有發車,所以利文斯頓沒有發車的日子,也是可以自己搭車去Sesheke(一個跨Katima邊境前的尚比亞小鎮),自己過邊境後再在Katima Mulilo搭大巴。
Oasis的車票價錢是950K,我嫌還要轉車又比較貴,所以最後我直接在網路上買了intercape車票。結果沒想到,當天早上七點半到車站,intercape一樣也是中巴,一樣也是要到了Katima Mulilo才換大巴。
還好我有有先買,不然早上七點半來到車站,售票處都還沒上班,有好幾個背包客當天現場買不到車票。
最後司機等所有有票乘客都上車後,確認車上還有位置,才讓他們付250K現金,讓他們到了Katima的辦公室再買後段的票。
相對莫三比克、辛巴威、尚比亞來說,車子狀況很不錯,出發後馬路也都是柏油路。但是沒多久我發現車子轉彎往波札那邊境卡宗��拉Kazungula開去,我頓時緊張了,我沒有波札那簽證啊!趕緊上前問司機,車子是要穿越波札那嗎?我沒有波札那簽證耶!
司機要我放心,到海關直接刷卡買簽證就好。我之前看網路上有網友的分享,好像說波札那邊境不給台灣人辦簽證了,所以心裡很忐忑。
卡宗古拉Kazungula邊境算是比較有規模,一站式的大廳,右邊先蓋尚比亞出境,左邊排隊蓋波札那入境。輪到我時,官員用機器一刷我的護照,就說你需要簽證,是要在這裡買簽證嗎?
然後給我一張申請書要我去旁邊填寫,過境簽證單次300P,如果還要回來雙次是500P,但是最長效期是14天。我考量到我納米比亞就會待超過14天了,這個雙次我是用不到,不然就可以不用再去大使館申請簽證了,可惜啊!
現場可以刷卡付費,也沒有需要任何其他證明文件,就這樣我拿到波札那單次入境簽證了。
上車後才想起,這樣我沒有地方換納米比亞幣了,本來查好在Katima海關有銀行可以換匯率比較好,所以開車前上車的小販我沒跟他換。哈哈,人算不如天算,只能邊走邊看了。
穿越波札那一段路後,在Ngoma關口要入境納米比亞,這裡是一個比較小的邊境,蓋完波札那出境章後要再過去納米比亞側蓋入境章。
我已經有納米比亞簽證在手,本來已經不怎麼擔心了,但還是發生了小插曲,差點只能在納米比亞待三天。(納米比亞簽證過程在這篇)
順利入境納米比亞後,車子開到Katima Mulilo也下午一點半了,我們把行李換到大巴士之後,被告知巴士要等到三點才發車,其實一樣也是要等其他別的地方接駁過來的乘客。
不過也好,有時間好好吃飯再去大超市補給,也趁機去ATM領錢,手上有納米比亞幣,等明早抵達文豪克Windhiek也可以有錢搭計程車了。
三點準時發車,行駛一段路大約四點半左右,遇到要下車檢查證件的關卡,只是確定每個人都有證件,同一地點我們也遇上Oasis和Silas的巴士,所以其實搭哪家都差不多,車子看起來都一樣新。
沿路上其實大約每兩小時左右,巴士都會停在24小時的shell加油站,可以去加油站附設的便利商店上廁所(2-3納幣不等)或補充食物,也是中途上下車的站點。
車子隔天早上七點二十準時抵達Windhoek的Intercape巴士站,這時這裡才剛剛天亮。

Forty kilometres east of Katima Mulilo, Zambezi Mubala Camp is tucked away under a canopy of green. Formerly known as Island View, this camp provides the creature comforts for the city-slickers without taking away from the outdoors experience. Safari camping on the banks of the Zambezi River takes camping to an entirely new level. Eight safari tents (sleeping four) with en-suite bathrooms provide comfortable Zambezi homes. Guests have the option of cooking up a storm in their fully-equipped kitchens, having a bite to eat at the camp’s restaurant or picking up a braai pack for a hearty barbeque.
---------------------
Vierzig Kilometer östlich von Katima Mulilo liegt das Zambezi Mubala Camp versteckt unter einem grünen Blätterdach.

Tra l’Angola e il Botswana, una sottilissima striscia di terra appartenente alla Namibia si allunga fino a raggiungere il punto in cui il fiume Kwando, che segna il confine con il Botswana, si getta nello Zambezi, che la separa dall’Angola, a pochi chilometri dal confine con lo Zimbabwe. Una lingua di territorio lunga 450 chilometri e spessa solo 30, insanguinata per tutta la seconda metà degli anni Novanta dallo scontro tra il governo namibiano e i separatisti della Caprivi Liberation Army. Dopo anni di atrocità, distruzione delle sue ricchezze naturali e bracconaggio, gli animali stanno tornando a popolare i parchi del Caprivi, insieme a qualche turista. Noi l’abbiamo percorsa da est a ovest, attraversando i parchi naturali ancora poco frequentati dagli stranieri e tagliati dalla statale B8, che collega Katima Mulilo a Rundu.
Un viaggio in autobus durato un’intera giornata ci ha portati da Victoria Falls a Katima, attraverso la regione settentrionale del Botswana. Più di otto ore, tra controlli sanitari, disinfezione delle suole delle scarpe e acquisizione di impronte digitali a ogni confine.
Katima Mulilo è la prima città che si incontra entrando in Namibia dal Botswana settentrionale: un avamposto di circa 30.000 abitanti, la città più lontana dalla capitale Windhoek. Qui è dove abbiamo ritirato la nostra auto a noleggio, una piccola Toyota Etios che ci ha accompagnati fino a Cape Town. Lungo la strada principale di Katima, si possono acquistare generi di prima necessità e il carburante necessario per proseguire fino a Rundu. Dopo le 18, gli unici luoghi per mangiare qualcosa sono i negozi dei distributori di benzina o i fast food annessi. Impossibile però pagare in dollari o con carta di credito straniera: essendo riusciti a cambiare circa 5 dollari in moneta locale grazie alla gentilezza della gerente della guest-house dove abbiamo alloggiato, siamo riusciti ad acquistare da bere e qualche snack per dormire a pancia piena.
Riposati e rifocillati, la mattina del nostro primo giorno in Namibia siamo partiti in direzione ovest. Nel giro di pochi chilometri, ci stiamo ritrovati da soli lungo la statale B8, un parco nazionale dietro l’altro, tra elefanti che ci hanno attraversato la strada e villaggi di capanne apparentemente disabitati.
Le nuvole di sabbia sollevate dai branchi di pachidermi, la boscaglia secca ai lati della strada e i rari alberi verdi, sinonimo di acqua nel sottosuolo, sono uno spettacolo che rivedo davanti a me chiudendo gli occhi. Seguiamo la C49 e poi la B8, attraversando il Wuparo Conservancy ed entrando nel Mudumu National Park, una delle aree più ricche di fauna fino agli anni Ottanta, quando divenne una concessione di caccia non ufficiale e gli animali furono decimati.
All’interno del parco di può visitare il bellissimo villaggio-museo di Lizauli, fondato a poca distanza dall’abitato per far conoscere ai viaggiatori gli stili di vita tradizionali del Caprivi. Le guide locali forniscono informazioni sull’alimentazione, i metodi di pesca, caccia e allevamento, l’organizzazione sociale e politica dei villaggi, l’artigianato, la medicina tradizionale, i giochi e la musica. E’ stata l’occasione perfetta per toccare con mano le usanze di una delle tante tribù namibiane, dagli stili di vita estremamente diversi l’una dall’altra.
I Kaprivian sono circa 80.000, divisi in cinque tribù: i Lozi, i Mafwe, i Subia, gli Yei e i Mbukushu. Agricoltura di sussistenza, pesca e allevamento di bestiame ne garantiscono la sopravvivenza. La lingua franca di questi popoli è un idioma derivato dal lozi, tribù che controllava tutta l’area fino al XIX secolo. Grazie proprio alla visita guidata al museo abbiamo scoperto che per allontanare gli animali feroci utilizzano una frusta che, picchiata a terra, produce un suono simile ad uno sparo. Una sorta di slitta in legno trainata da buoi è usata per i trasporti, mentre per proteggere il cibo conservato in ampie ceste costruiscono trappole per topi con la terra dei termitai e per difendere i polli dai predatori, durante la notte, li chiudono in piccole gabbie rialzate. La calabash, in italiano “zucca a fiasco”, è il recipiente usato per il trasporto dell’acqua e per la conservazione del latte, che al suo interno è fatto diventare acido, per poi impiegarlo nella preparazione del porridge. La musica dello xilofono è tipica delle grandi festività, quando tutto il villaggio partecipa alle celebrazioni e si cucinano cibi in grande quantità. Si mescola ai canti e al suono prodotto dalle gonne fatte in legno delle danzatrici.
Parte del progetto del museo è anche la vendita di prodotti artigianali, i cui proventi contribuiscono al sostentamento della comunità e alla tutela della fauna contro il bracconaggio, una piaga che ha afflitto (e ancora oggi continua) tutti i parchi della regione.
E’ solo dopo il cessate il fuoco del 2002 che il Bwabwata è stato dichiarato parco nazionale e i bracconieri non hanno più potuto sfruttare liberamente le risorse di quest’area. La Mahango Game Reserve, una riserva naturale che occupa solo 25 chilometri quadrati di superficie, è un paradiso per gli amanti della savana e degli animali. Senza la necessità di disporre di un fuoristrada, la si può visitare con calma in mezza giornata: il Circular Drive Loop è lungo 20 chilometri e permette di osservare facilmente la ricchissima fauna selvatica.
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
Nei pressi di Bagani il fiume Okavango forma una serie di piccole cascate: le Popa Falls, poco più che delle rapide, soprattutto dopo aver assistito allo spettacolo delle Victoria Falls. Un’occasione però per avvistare i coccodrilli che popolano le acque del fiume.
La notte trascorsa sulle sponde dell’Okavango è stata una delle più particolari e allo stesso tempo stancanti che abbia vissuto. Le piazzole del Ngepi Camp si trovano proprio sulle sponde del fiume, pochi metri più in alto di dove sguazzano gli ippopotami. Si è immersi nel bush, i bagni solo all’aria aperta e alle 22 l’elettricità smette di esistere anche nella zona del bar. Ci si riconcilia con i suoni della natura, che tra barriti di elefanti e ruggiti di ippopotami è riuscita anche a farmi temere per qualche ora (esagerando, se ci ripenso) che avremmo potuto morire schiacciati dai pachidermi e nessuno l’avrebbe saputo per molto tempo, dato che anche le comunicazioni sono state pressoché impossibile nei giorni trascorsi nel Kaprivi.
Ma, a ripensarci, è stata un’esperienza preziosa, forse sarà l’unica della mia vita. Svegliarsi all’alba con il canto degli uccelli (anche i grandi animali a una certa ora erano andati a dormire e mi avevano lasciata assopire) e vedere il fiume Okavango, non ha prezzo!
• Welcome to paradise •
Informazioni pratiche:
I parchi e le riserve sono generalmente aperte dall’alba al tramonto. All’ingresso e all’uscita, è necessario registrare i propri dati e pagare una piccola somma di denaro.
Il villaggio-museo di Lizauli non ha orari fissi. Per raggiungerlo, però, si passa davanti all’abitato: quando le guide vedono sopraggiungere dei viaggiatori, arrivano letteralmente di corsa ad accogliervi. Il prezzo dell’ingresso è pari a 40 NAD e i prodotti artigianali in vendita sono splendidi, anche se leggermente più cari che in altre aree, ma sono con certezza costruiti al villaggio e non importati. Inoltre, trovare altri negozi dove acquistare i manufatti tipici del Caprivi è molto difficile: lasciando la regione anche l’artigianato cambia foggia e di villaggi dove “fare shopping” non ce ne sono lungo la strada.
Per raggiungere le Popa Falls è necessario accedere al Popa Falls Resort e pagare il biglietto d’ingresso.
Per avere più informazioni sul camping: http://www.ngepicamp.com. Sulle sponde del fiume, comunque, ce ne sono una decina tra cui scegliere, compresi lodge di lusso.

Mukolo Camp, Namibia to Maramba Lodge, Livingstone, Zambia. About 320km. 4/28/19.
Today we agreed to leave a little later than we wanted to accommodate our lovely Lola that took care of the camp. We hung out outside our tents before 7 since we had gone to bed fairly early the previous night. While we were talking a Mavic 2 drone came overhead and was watching us. The pilot then backed up and flew it right into a tree. It turned out to be other guests at the camp on the "camp" side. When he did the walk of shame to fetch his drone out of the tree and shook it loose, I might've mentioned something about karma. We had a nIce breakfast and left around 10. I gassed up in Divundu since I was down to one bar (our of five) on my gauge and we had about 120km to Katima Mulilo. Straight shot on the tar with one rest stop on the way and Incaught up to the rest of the bikes in short order. To this point there were basically no speed limits nor police enforcing much of anything on the roads. The mich discussed Zambian border crossing was just a few km past Katima and we went through the relatively easy process of exiting Namibia. Just a couple stops, a stamping of our previously acquired foreign vehicle tax receipt and we were off to the Zambian side. We did rise right by a line of trucks maybe half a km long. Some trucks may take days to get across the border. Some things in Africa are just not handled that efficiently. But, we proceeded uneventfully through the Nam exit and into the Zambian side of the border.
The Zambia border crossing was a bit crazy. First a health stop where I showed my yellow paper documenting my immunizations including Yellow Fever. I got a "go" tag from them. Nobody else to my knowledge had one and I think it cost the Aussies about $20 to buy their way through that stop. Then a long line for immigration. I had prepaid this through the surprisingly efficient web portal (I can say this now having navigated an incredibly cumbersome process in person) to the tune of $50. Then the next stop was to pay $20 for some sort of vehicle fee. Can you believe the guy wouldn't even take kwacha (Zambian currency) but demanded US dollars?! He must trade them for money... Then a trip to another office where you trade in the registration paper to a friendly guy who gives some more paper with a stamp. Then back to the office to a customs window. Fill out a ledger. Move to another window. Pay 70 kwacha there. Rod loaned me that as I hadn't changed any money yet. Filled out a very detailed form and got another receipt. Then we though we were done. But nooit! After we left the building we were told we needed to get insurance. The SA guys thought they had bought coverage for Zambia but the authorities here require you to buy a months insurance. It was 522 kwacha. Just over $41 if you were able to exchange at an ATM... With the hordes of local currency traders pestering you every time you leave the building I was able to negotiate 550 kwacha for a $50 bill. Exchange shows 635 is what I should get but not surprisingly the only ATM was out of cash and they don't take credit cards. So this whole process has taken a few hours and about half our group is through as of now. I'm writing this in the building while it is fresh in my mind. A fantastic model of government inefficiency with no legible instructions as to the order or where you should go after you successfully fill out ledgers, forms and pay at each windowed station. Trial and error. Anyway the SA guys knew it would prolly take a while and it most definitely did. About $120 paid out so far just at the captive station. I feel like they are taking maximal advantage of tourists here. Then just when we thought we were done.... we had another guard stop and were told to get off the bikes. Then we were told we had to pay a 30 kwacha fee for the shire (some sort of local tax, I don't think it was related to the Lord of the Rings). Then on the bikes again and to another border stop. AK-47 in hand like many of our stops today. We dismounted and had to provide our papers to be entered into yet another ledger. I'm quite sure they're not gonna be digitized any time soon! Some of the SA guys were truly pissed by this point. Frankly I found it a bit comical. Nothing to do but laugh it off since the inefficiency was just so blatant. All this could have and should have been done at a few windows like the rest of the world. 11 windows/stops and separate forms, ledgers, payments, etc. close to $150 all in.
We then finally proceeded into Zambia. Immediately noticing the density, poor conditions and throngs of people selling things. We stopped just over the Zambezi river bridge at a turn off and had some hydration. We discussed the stricter speed and law enforcement in Zambia as well as the expected poor road conditions on the way to Livingstone. The police bakkie went out with blue lights flashing ahead of us shortly thereafter. However fortunately he want after any of us. In fact we followed him for maybe 40 km or so. Turns out he was responding to a cow that had been hit on the road and had bled out on the road. Lots of people were headed to see what the commotion was as we rode by. We also stopped at a bridge about 50 km into the rough section and a couple guys talked their way into a picture with the local cop, his AK and some other local men on a bridge by a river. The condition of the toad was abhorrent. Potholes on top of potholes fo about 100km of the 200km from the border at Shesheke to Livingstone. Some guys went off the road to ride an impromptu dirt access road the local had created so as to try and save flat tires or worse. At least a few trucks were stopped to repair flats. A few bicycles as well were tending to popped tires on the rough and jagged potholes. We slowed down and tried to zig zag our way through. Luckily we all passed this section without a flat! 🤞 about 15km outside of town we entered a nature preserve and everyone spotted a small herd of small deer on the left. I was sweeping and less than a km after that I looked to my left and couldn't believe I saw a large giraffe munching down on a tee right by the road. I swung around and went over towards him. He was wary of my and moved away a bit. Then I saw another big one off to my left. I took a few shots and a short vid and loved it. As I rode away I saw the rest of the family with a couple smaller adolescents and another adult. We met up at a main intersection in Livingstone and then after some more currency trader heckling we rode the last few km to this beautiful lodge which is just a couple km from Victoria Falls. A troop of monkeys waited for us and scampered across the lawn. Some climbed up a tree and sat over our bikes. But they seemed curious and wary of us. I as has been my habit she's my kit and headed for the pool. Now at least I am keeping my bathing suit on the bike. You know it has been hot when the temp fell to 33°C on the bike and it felt cool or at least cooler. Pool was great and I must've chugged 3 pony sized Cokes with ice from the bar in about 5'. A delicious dinner ensued and I opted for the in-African combo of samosa and spaghetti puttanesca along with a nice house salad. Enjoying my nightcap of Amurula here at the bar now and everyone else went to bed an hour ago. Gotta get some sleep because a big rest day tomorrow is planned. Stay tuned! Kameelperd is Baz' word of the day. It means giraffe in Afrikaans and literally translates to camel horse. 😴
