Springbok’s Naries Namakwa Retreat
My only memory of Springbok is spending a very, VERY cold night camping on a hard community hall floor with what seemed like the most threadbare sleeping bag to keep me from losing my toes to frostbite. This was about 18 years ago, during a stop-over on a kids’ holiday camp to Namibia, so aside […]
