The
Fish River Canyon is a natural phenomenon, a wild
and stunning spectacle of geographical formations
that have been carved, over a period of 1800 million
years from layers of sandstone, shale and lava.
Hiking through the breathtaking landscape of unspoiled
wilderness, gorges, placid pools, and almighty
boulders is an experience of a lifetime.
Kaokoland is nearly
50,000 square kilometres of rocky mountainous
terrain, winding roads and a wild and stark landscape.
It is seemingly empty of inhabitants other than
the local Himba, isolated and simple subsistence
farmers who live by their surrounding land and
not by modern technology and the population of
Namibia 's desert-dwelling elephants browsing
on the indigenous Ana trees.
In the North of
Namibia roars the mighty Cunene, an extraordinarily
powerful raging white water rapid in parts, contrasted
with the tranquil calm of meandering streams and
winding gulleys in others. This river is renowned
as one of the continent's prime rafting destinations.
This adrenalin pumping adventure requires the
skills of an experienced rafter who will guide
you down the rapids.

Sossusvlei & Namib-Naukluft, Namibia The Namib-Naukluft National Park is the largest national park in Africa and certainly one of the most memorable.

The Orange River flows from the mountainous kingdom of Lesotho all the way to the Atlantic Sea and forms the natural border between Namibia and South Africa.
