DAMARALAND The home of desert-adapted elephant, rhino and lions as well as oryx, springbok and hundreds of bird species, Damaraland is at once beautiful, unique and fascinating with rocky mountains, grasscovered plains and every conceivable range of brown from dark russet to bleached blonde. Except the sky which is a deep vivid blue. NAMIB-NAUKLUFT PARK Covering 50,000sq km, the Namib-Naukluft Park begins on the plateau of central Namibia and drops to the vast basin of the Namib Desert - the 20-million year-old remains of an ancient sea. Wide open spaces framed by purply-blue mountains and impossible sunsets make the Namib-Naukluft a place of singular beauty and peace. The only sound you’ll hear is the gentle breeze. KALAHARI Red sand dunes, swaying bleached-blonde grass and endless blue skies: the Kalahari is for escapists. Home of the San Hunter-Gatherers, the Kalahari is not without its share of wildlife including lions, oryx and those adorable meerkats bopping their heads and chirruping at each other all day, the Kalahari is a place of beauty, contemplation and giant venison steaks. FISH RIVER CANYON The Fish River Canyon is Africa’s largest canyon, thought to have formed about 500 million years ago. The canyon is located in southern Namibia, on the border with South Africa. The Fish River has carved out over 160 km’s of rock (100 miles), and some of the canyon walls are over half a kilometer high. You can hike the canyon but only during the cooler months between May and September. The hike takes 5 days (it’s 85 km’s) and there are no hotels or places to get food or water along the way. Accommodation is in tents or in the open air. The hike offers spectacular views and common sightings of baboons, klipspringers and hyraxes. KAOKOLAND Enormous, virtually impassable mountain ranges, all the desertadapted wildlife of Damaraland to the south and mile upon square mile of uninhabited, scenic splendor. Kaokoland is where the fascinating Himba people live - off the land in harmony with nature. Best suited to adventurous self-drive 4x4 camping adventures with more than one vehicle. THE CAPRIVI STRIP The Caprivi strip is quite different from the rest of Namibia, it’s green and populated. The Caprivi strip is a narrow finger of land in northern Namibia, that juts eastward and borders Angola as well as Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana (Africa’s four corners). This area is filled with wildlife and ideal for a water based safari since several major rivers flow in this region, this area is home to the Zambezi, Okavango, Chobe and Linyanti rivers. It’s also a big birding destination, with over four hundred species flying around. With several national parks to enjoy, lovely lodges and even houseboats to choose from, it’s a destination not to be missed. SWAKOPMUND Swakopmund is Namibia’s premier seaside town. The main street is lined with palm trees and German style colonial buildings. Swakopmund is a very popular spot for local tourists who visit to escape the heat, especially during the hot Namibian summer (November - February). Swakopmund has lots of hotels, restaurants and even a casino to enjoy. The water temperatures are usually too chilly to really enjoy swimming here, but shore based fishing, dolphin, seal and whale watching, as well as birding will fill your time nicely.
