Monika Großmann (48), an X-ray assistant at a private clinic in Windhoek, completed her 15th Desert Dash last year. She rode in the solo category for the first time and finished 12th among the women. Monika and her husband Kai first participated in a team of four, but from 2010 they entered the race as their own team of two.

Situated in the Moon Valley some 50 kilometres east of Swakopmund, Goanikontes Oasis, actually a restaurant and café, offers fishing competitions as an outdoor experience for the whole family. Owner Dirkie Baard has created a tilapia pond for this very purpose.

It is a tough mountain bike challenge that takes cyclists from about ten different countries from Namibia’s capital Windhoek through the oldest desert in the world to the coastal town of Swakopmund. More than 1000 cyclists have registered for the 2019 Nedbank Desert Dash. Gondwana Collection Namibia entered five teams this year. 

The Gondwana team won the team competition of the Zambezi Classic International 2019. 26 teams competed in the event from the 27^th to the 30^th August, which was hosted by the Nwanyi Angling Club. 

Tiger Fishing Season is in full swing and Zambezi Mubala Camp & Lodge want to join in on the fun! Now we know that the rod is man’s best friend, but more than just the fisherman’s paradise we would like to cater for the fisherman’s wife as well – by offering the best possible getaway while hubby is on the water. Of course, we do believe that the rod could be woman’s best friend too! 

Eleven members of the Namibia Bass Angling Association (NBAA) gathered at Oanob Dam on the weekend of 27 and 28 April 2019 in an attempt to qualify for the international 2020 Bass Nation Championship in the United States. Determining factors for good results are accurate throwing, patience, knowing the area and the behaviour of the fish, the choice of fishing tackle and artificial lures, as well as a little bit of luck.

Activity tourism is the current buzzword and what could be nicer than combining a photo safari through Namibia with playing golf under the African skies at the various golf courses all over the country? After a relaxing stay at a tourism lodge near Namibia’s famous Etosha National Park, golf courses are not far away at Otjiwarongo, Tsumeb or Grootfontein. 

It is not a surprise that Gondwana Collection is on this mountain biking roller-coaster for the second time, with two social and two competitive teams entered. Furthermore, Gondwana looks forward to welcoming cyclists at the Langer Heinrich water point for a quick stop, drink and snack.
