DAYS 02 & 03: Swakopmund
Founded in 1892 during the German colonial rule, the distinct colonial character has been well preserved.

A short distance away is Sossusvlei, surrounded by a dramatic sea of sand dunes reputed to be the highest in the world. Magnificent views of the desert can be seen from the top of the dunes, some over 300m high.

The afternoon will be spent exploring this amazing area. Tonight we will view the sunset from the top of Dune 45 – a truly memorable experience. (B,L,D)

161km long, up to 27 kms wide and about 550ms deep, the outer canyon was formed by tectonic activity whilst the erosion of the Fish River formed the inner canyon.

A road running near the eastern rim gives access to several viewing points with spectacular views across the canyon. (B,L,D)
