Rustic Charm and Campfire Dreams: Our Unforgettable Weekend at Erongo Rocks Campsite, Namibia
Picture this: a bunch of fabulous ladies armed with marshmallows, sunscreen, and an undying thirst for adventure. We set off to conquer the wild and embrace the beauty of Mother Nature, one undignified giggle at a time. Arriving at Erongo Rocks Campsite, we couldn't help but gasp at the majestic sight of ancient granite boulders, like Mother Nature's own obstacle course for us to play in. We pitched our tents with the grace of acrobats, and trust me, setting up tents has never been so stylishly clumsy.
When the night fell, we gathered around the campfire, as any self-respecting camping crew would do. Sparks flew, marshmallows sizzled, and we exchanged stories that ranged from hilarious to downright scandalous. The stars above seemed to wink at our wild adventures, like they were in on our mischievous secrets.
The next day, armed with trail mix and selfie sticks, some members of the group (not me) embarked on a hike through the wilderness. The highlight of the hike was stumbling upon a mesmerizing viewpoint that could rival any Pinterest-perfect backdrop. Back at camp, we kept the party going with games that stoked certain competitive spirits and led to me almost setting myself alight in an attempt to boil some water.
As the night fell, we gathered around the campfire for a heart-to-heart chat. We shared stories and dreams and had many debates about the presence of raisins in meals. Reluctantly, we bid farewell to Erongo Rocks Campsite after two short nights, knowing that we'd return for more wild escapades and laughter-filled nights. Erongo Rocks Campsite might not be all glitz and glamour, but let me tell you, it's got something even better - a dash of rustic charm with some seriously good amenities that make camping a breeze!
On to the practicalities of the camp… Imagine a huge open kitchen where we could whip up our culinary masterpieces. Experiencing the joy of cooking under the open sky, surrounded by friends, with a glass of wine or two. The camp is also equipped with running water, a game-changer in the camping world. No more awkwardly balancing a water jug while trying to wash our hands or brushing our teeth. We could freshen up like true camping queens, with the convenience of running water just a few steps away.
And let's not forget the unsung hero of the morning routine - the staff member stoking the donkey. Bless their hearts! Waking up to a warm and toasty campsite was an absolute delight. No more chilly mornings for us! It's the little things like this that turn a camping trip into a luxurious getaway. Sure, we might not have had glamping tents, but that's the beauty of it all.
