Day 15 - 17

Savour the fresh sea air

After many days in the dry areas of Namibia, today we head for the coast. To Swakopmund. The town is rich in history and many corners still reflect the German colonial era. As the former gateway to South West Africa and an important harbour, the town played a decisive role in supplying the colony.
The old lighthouse, which is the symbol of Swakopmund, and the local history museum offer visitors a further opportunity to immerse themselves in the past and learn more about the history of the town and the region.
Swakopmund is also a centre of attraction as once again desert and sea meet directly here and between these extremes Swakopmund asserts itself and is not only internationally but also locally a popular place with a pleasant sea breeze in summer.

Day 18 - 20

The Skeleton Coast

Today you leave your hire car in Swakopmund and continue your journey by plane. You fly north along the coast towards the Skeleton Coast. The description of the Skeleton Coast as an inhospitable and rugged landscape with crescent dunes conveys an image of a wild and impressive environment. The epithet "land that God created out of anger" refers to the extreme and sometimes hostile nature of this region as perceived by the Bushmen.
But even in these extreme conditions, an endemic flora and fauna has developed - lone beach wolves roam around and seals can be found on the beaches in their droves.
The occasional shipwrecks along the coast add an extra touch of mystery and adventure to the area. All in all, the Skeleton Coast seems to be a landscape of breathtaking beauty and at the same time harsh ruthlessness that fascinates visitors with its wildness and uniqueness.

Desert landscape of the Namib Desert

Day 21 - 23

The dunes of Sossusvlei

Sossusvlei in the Namib-Naukluft National Park is undoubtedly one of the most spectacular and best-known attractions in Namibia. The imposing red dunes that surround this salt and clay pan make Sossusvlei a fascinating sight and a favourite destination for tourists from all over the world.
The enormous dimensions of the dunes, which can be up to 400 metres high, make the Sossusvlei a unique and impressive natural phenomenon. The red sand dunes not only provide a breathtaking backdrop for visitors, but are also home to an astonishing variety of plants and animals that have adapted to the extreme conditions of the desert
