URBAN FUN
Swakopmund is something of an enigma, a German colonial relic that may be crumbling
into the desert except for the influx of tourists who pour in to enjoy its raft of activities,
German-style ambience, cuisine and hospitality. Walvis Bay, just a short ride away, has a
developing waterfront and some great restaurants.
SHIFTING SANDS
Namib-Naukluft Park is one of the world's largest national parks - this is desert country
and the swirling sand dunes here are mesmerising. The dunes - silent, constantly shifting,
gently hued in colour and ageless - are a highlight of Namibia.

CANYONS & DESERT ROADS
The landscapes, from the moment you enter southern Namibia from South Africa, are
stunning - granite monoliths rise from the plains through mists of windblown sand and
dust. The enormous gash hacked out of the planet at Fish River Canyon should not be
missed - this naked symphony in stone is truly awesome.
