Namibia
A large part of Namibia’s allure can be attributed to its four entirely different landscapes, each with their own characteristics and attractions. The most definitive is the Namib, a long coastal desert that runs the length of the country, highlighted by migrating dune belts, dry riverbeds and canyons. A photographer’s dream!.
Time and space are less defined here. Landscapes collide. Experiences pile up. Watch a lion stalking its prey on a never ending plain in Etosha. Fly down a giant dune on a sandboard. Spend a night in the desert under a sky so thick with stars, you can’t differentiate between constellations.
Looking for the ideal wildlife area in Namibia? The Etosha National Park offers the perfect African safari, with excellent game viewing, three well established camps within the park and a host of private lodges along its borders. Zebra and springbok are scattered across the endless horizon and the park’s many waterholes attract endangered black rhinoceros, lion, elephant and large numbers of antelope.
Swakopmund remains one the most popular destinations for a unique African holiday. The area also gives you the flexibility to explore the fine beaches, palm-lined streets and seaside promenades of this beautiful town. There are countless recreational activities and adventure trips for the visitor to enjoy, such as sandboarding, quad biking, dune carting, parachuting, deep sea fishing and beach angling, to name but a few. For the more sedentary, there are restaurants, cafes, African art galleries, museums, a snake park and aquarium. Swakopmundstill manages to create a feeling of timelessness and offers some of the most attractive luxury accommodation in Namibia. Take your time browsing African artwork, soak up the area’s atmosphere, or take the family along for an adventure!
