Destinations:
Namib Nama and Succulent Deserts
Namibia's Southern Region is one of the landscapes making the difference to the Namibian destination.With vast, empty, ever-changing landscapes.
You will find peace and tranquility by the changing colours in this pristine wilderness. There are signs of human activities but they only emphasise that nature dictates the course. The well known dunes of Sossusvlei, the Fish River Canyon, the hot springs of Ai-ais are only a few of nature's spectacular experiences to encounter. Other well-known destinations include the Quivertree forest, Giant's Playground, the Brukaros, a mass of dark coloured lava, wild desert horses around Aus, and Duwisib, a castle built by Baron von Wolf for his American wife.
Many activities round off the picture of the South. Ballooning around Sossusvlei and challenging hikes through the Naukluft Mountains with the ever flowing springs. From one-day hikes to an eight-day hike for the really fit take you away into breathtaking wilderness.
For a real get away, hike through the Namib desert in Namibia's biggest private nature reserve, the Namib Rand.
Let nature dictate your day as the road becomes the goal whilst finding tranquillity for the soul in the south.
