Taking meat into Botswana and Namibia
We receive regular questions about taking meat and other fresh produce into Botswana and Namibia from South Africa. Due to the FMD (Foot and Mouth Disease) outbreak in Limpopo, no meat may cross the border from South Africa to Namibia or Botswana. This regulation includes biltong, animal hides, dairy products and eggs. At some of the border posts you might even find they confiscate fruit and vegetables. This means that canned products and UHT products are the best option until this ban is lifted.

I recently visited the Cape Cross Lodge and I was very impressed with the service, the scenery and the wildlife. The Cape fur seals are interesting, but I enjoyed the daily visit of the jackals and the prolific bird life even more. The meals at Cape Cross Lodge were excellent.

Cities are not my prefered destination, but I found Swakopmund interesting. If you are really interested in the German history of Swakopmund you can stay there for two nights, but personally I would recommend to most people to rather drive to Cape Cross after a short visit in Swakopmund and enjoy something really special at Cape Cross Lodge

This sea gull is likely asking himself "how did I get here" as he navigates the horde of lazy seals at the colony in Cape Cross, Namibia.

SPOTLIGHT ON: CAPE CROSS LODGE

Cape Cross Lodge sits right on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, close to Cape Cross Seal Reserve, 122km north of Swakopmund and 60km north of Henties Bay. It is accessible by selfdrive or fly-and-transfer. The lodge caters lunch for day visitors and is the perfect rest spot for those traveling the Skeleton Coast or Damaraland region.

Accommodation at Cape Cross consists of 18 bedrooms and two suites. Four of these rooms have interleading doors to create family units, and six are wheelchair accessible. Cape Cross is usually fairly cool at night, so the rooms do not have air conditioning, fans or mosquito nets, but there are no heaters either, so you may want to request extra blankets. Rooms on the first floor have private balconies with sea views and wooden deckchairs and tables, and those on the ground floor share the same view, and they have direct beach access.

Cape Cross Lodge’s raison d’être is largely the adjacent seal colony, 4km away by road, which is often visited as a day trip from Swakopmund. Thus the lodge is open to day visitors. Despite the obvious practicalities, arguably the greatest appeal is watching seals cavorting in the waves off this bleak stretch of Atlantic coast.

Individual dining tables are relatively formal, but comfortable sofas and low tables dotted with coffee-table books soften the mood. At one end, an extensive bar adds a slightly pubby atmosphere. An a-la-carte menu is available for all meals, but a buffet style service will be introduced for larger groups.

Facilities: Wi-Fi; cell phone reception; dining area; lounge; cocktail bar; wine cellar; fireplace; laundry; safe; curio shop; conference facilities. There are NO radio, TV or phones in the rooms. Satellite TV is available in the downstairs conference room.

Other activies: the Messum Crater Excursion; angling; visit to the famous Winston Wreck; the Dead Sea about 30km from the lodge; surfing; kayaking.
