Your description of Namibia hits home. My family and I had the same sort of experience when we got stuck in the sand in very, very remote Saudi Arabia far from any paved roads or assistance. We were hopelessly stuck as the sun was setting and could do nothing but settle in for the night. But what a night. There were no lights or city glow horizon to horizon - not even an airplane overhead. Just a light breeze, blowing sand and the glorious stars overhead. Even though we were in a bit of a difficult and dangerous situation, I was utterly at peace.
