Video Productions Venture
You now have the opportunity to get videos made for you in record time and at a price that is annoying the rest of the industry. As introductory offers go, this one from Awesome Chapters is pretty … well, awesome.
You get access to years of video editing and photography experience, as well as professional equipment.
Yes, that is the sales pitch for our new venture, while we wait for tourists to return, this revenue stream will be developed. We have some expert help from Bernd Curschmann from Lemonreel film services.

Social media, like Facebook and the like require square video, as it maximizes screen space on mobile devices. There are some other tricks to getting your message out too. Here is an example of a video ad for Awesome Chapters video business:
The introductory offer will expire pretty soon, as Namibia has now relaxed it’s restrictions for entering so much that there is a way to get film crews in and working without a quarantine. This is excellent news for the industry!
There will definitely be more videos forthcoming from Awesome Chapters. We are running all sorts of competitions and marketing events to announce the fact that we are still around and eager to start serving up some awesome!
This competition will be ending shortly. Camping in Namibia is a little known gem. Beautiful scenery, great food and awesome company makes this an experience not to be missed!
“Amazing Rock Formations”
The theme of the week for our Facebook posts.
The Swakopmund River cuts through the Namib desert. This ancient river exposes the mostly sedimentary rock layers in beautiful curves. This “badlands” is also called the Moon Landscape closer to Swakopmund where the river opens up somewhat. The river also runs through Welwitchia country. Driving up the river from Goanikontes these rock formations are a geologist’s dream.
Spitzkoppen is a magical place. As a fine example of a Inselberg, which dots the plains of the Namib Desert. The granite of Spitzkoppe contains high amounts of iron, which rusts and colors the mountain a beautiful brownish orange. Sunsets here are amazing, as are the stars above while you are camping.
The Messum crater is a little further away from Walvis Bay which we call our home. This is where the biggest Welwitchia hang out. Notoriously tenacious survivors, these plants make this hyper-arid place their home. As you can see from the picture, the rock formations here are truly stunning!
Because there is so little water erosion at the Messum, you can see how rocks delaminate over the years. This is mainly heat causing the various elements that make up granite to expand at different rates, slowly breaking it apart.
Blutkoppe has this curious “Foamy” type of rock formation that is also present to a lesser extent at Brandberg and Vogelvederberg.
Camping at Spitzkoppe allows you to see some amazing sunrises as well, and the cool desert air has to be experienced. The feeling of nature enveloping you is simply unbeatable. Except, of course in a good rain year, then it’s even more amazing!
Brandberg is a volcanic shield, long dormant. It is so massive that you need to be in space to see it all at once, or surfing around on Google Earth. The surrounding landscapes are truly, absolutely breath-taking. If you come to Namibia and miss out staying here, you have missed out!
