NAMIBIA
FISH RIVER CANYON The 2nd largest canyon in the world, after the Grand Canyon in North America, the Fish River Canyon winds its’ way 161km along the Fish River in Southern Namibia. The canyon is 27km broad and 550m deep, with sheer, precipitous sides. Game to be found is baboon, mountain zebra, leopard and large monitor lizards amongst other arid land dwellers. In the southern tip of the canyon are the Ais-Ais hotsprings, which are visited for its’ relaxing qualities. The resort at the springs is, however, closed from November-March, as the ultra-hot temperatures make it unbearable to humans.

ETOSHA PAN Known as the place of mirages, the Etosha Pan is home to 110 reptile, 100 mammal and 340 bird species. The first impression of the park is of a vast expanse dazzling white pan, but in the early morning and late afternoons, through tricks of refracted light, the landscape glows and shimmers, changing from orange, through pink and purple to an inky blue. Days in this part of the world are extremely hot making night game drives extraordinary, as the wildlife are at their more active.

CENTRAL NAMIBIA The skeleton coast running alongside the Namib Desert, is host to a number of old ghost towns, remnants of the gold and diamond rushes of yesteryear, as well as various shipwrecks marooned offshore. Visiting this desolate area makes one realize how futile it is to try and tame this land. Swakopmund and Windhoek are modern cities with a definite German influence in architecture, cuisine and culture, and are sparkling oasis in the desert.
To explore the skeleton coast, Swakopmund would be a good base, as their tourism infrastructure is quite solid. The Namib Naukluft Park boasts the highest sand dunes in the world – at Sossusvlei. Astronomy enthusiasts will find Sosusvlei Mountain lodge a pleasure with stargazing windows above each bed, to witness the clear constellations in pollution free sky. Also of interest is a visit to the German style breweries in Windhoek to discover the art of creating a German beverage masterpiece.
