SOSSUSVLEI
Sossusvlei is the endless sea of rust-red dunes, the bleached
white pan and its gnarled ancient trees. Sossusvlei is the oryx
flashing its flowing tail and giving you front and side views of its
extraordinary features in front of a bright red dune that soars
into the deep blue sky above.A visit to Namibia is incomplete
without making the long trek into Sossusvlei, climbing and
sitting atop the world’s tallest dune looking out over a sea of
equally big dunes disappearing into the western horizon.
ETOSHA NATIONAL PARK
With the full quota of wildlife including elephant, lion, leopard,
black and white rhino, cheetah, caracal, brown and spotted
hyena, giraffe, zebra and many antelope. Birdlife is equally
impressive with 340 species on record including a high
proportion of raptors.
The unique natural waterholes that surround an ancient pan
attract a daily parade of wildlife and staying in the park gives
you a floodlit spectacle to boot. Stay in the private parks on
the edge, take a guided safari through the park or just sit at a
waterhole. Whichever way you want to experience it, Etosha is
the genuine African safari experience.
SKELETON COAST
Half way between Namibia’s top two attractions, Swakopmund
is the natural base from which to explore the Skeleton Coast - a
fog-shrouded desert wilderness of ferocious seas, apparently
lifeless interior and its own fair share of visual oddities.
Dunes meet sea at the Skeleton Coast and there is a lot to see
and do here that makes Swakopmund an ideal break to the vast
distance between Sossusvlei and Etosha.
Desert tours, sea kayaking and scenic flights are complimented
by a host of adventure activities including quad biking,
paragliding, sandboarding and skydiving.
