Morning Adventure in Namibia 🇳🇦 (July 8, 2024)

After sleeping in until 6:30 😮, we started our day by boat—we went to an island called Impalila, which is in the African country of Namibia right on the Chobe River. After getting stamps in our passports, we were met by our guide, David, a Namibian resident from the Masubia Tribe.

While we were there we visited the Kawela village and saw how the tribe lives in the traditional ways (there are roughly 30 tribes on the island). There are only 15 or so cars on the island and electricity didn’t make its appearance until about 5 years ago. Interesting, the president has a house in the island, which he uses as needed when visiting.

Here’s some other interesting tidbits:

*Mabuka vule – how are you greeting

*The languages are siLozi and Subiya.

*The island is 12 km long and 6 km in width. There are about 2,500 people who live on the island.
