Huge, untamed and ruggedly beautiful, Damaraland is an exceptionally scenic landscape featuring open plains, ancient valleys and spectacular rock formations. The major attractions are the sacred Spitzkoppe, the Brandberg, Twyfelfontein, Vingerklip and the otherworldly Petrified Forest. Visitors can take in the dramatic vistas, catch a glimpse of the rare desert-adapted elephant, and enjoy spectacular stargazing in crystal-clear night skies from one of the many safari camps dotting Damaraland.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;DAYS 5 &#038; 6&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;3c19ec15-f16e-4cb7-a972-7f9957032d75&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; toggle_font_size=&#8221;14px&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4>SKELETON COAST<\/h4>\n<p><span>Stretching from the Swakop River to southern Angola, the Skeleton Coast is known as the \u2018Land God Made in Anger\u2019 and is remoteness at its best. Thousands of miles of sandy desert dotted with shipwrecks meet with the cold waters of the Atlantic and somehow an amazing array of wildlife and flora manages to survive in this harsh but beautiful environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Ocean fog creeps over the shoreline caused by the warm dry air of the Namib Desert colliding with the cold Benguela current. This enigmatic area is home to a diversity of wildlife including seabird colonies, Cape fur seals, zebra, gemsbok, desert-adapted elephant, lion and much more. Surfing enthusiasts are drawn to these powerful waves and photographers flock from around the globe to snap a shot of this eerie shipwreck graveyard and for the unrivalled maritime photographic opportunities.

These elephants have uniquely adapted to their arid environments, most notably in their thinner bodies and wider feet. The larger size of their feet allows them to walk with more ease across the very soft desert sand, which is useful when you consider the fact that they have been known to travel up to 200 kilometres (124 miles) in search of water. Kaokoland is also home to the remarkable Himba people, a tribe of 13 ethnic groups living in Namibia. The Himba tribe became internationally most famous for the red ochre the women apply to their skin, as well as the way they plait their hair in elaborate arrangements of leather, mud and the tufts of oryx tails. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;DAYS 9 &#038; 10&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;3c19ec15-f16e-4cb7-a972-7f9957032d75&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; toggle_font_size=&#8221;14px&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4>ETOSHA NATIONAL PARK<\/h4>\n<p><span>Situated in northwestern Namibia, the Etosha National Park offers a premier game viewing experience. The park\u2019s diverse vegetation ranges from dense bush to open plains attracting a variety of wildlife. Located in the heart of the park is the Etosha Pan \u2013 a shallow depression that covers an area of 5000 square kilometres. Dry and shimmering for most of the year, the pans fill up with water after seasonal rains, making it the perfect habitat for wildlife. In the dry season, the wildlife is attracted to the perennial springs and waterholes that makes for excellent game viewing. Visitors can look forward to world-class game viewing including a variety of large mammals such as lion, elephant, leopard, rhino, zebra, giraffe, a diversity of birdlife such as flamingoes and pelicans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243;

It is centred around the vast Etosha salt pan, which covers 23% of the surface area of the park, and is so large that it is even visible from space. The salt pan is usually dry and only briefly fills with water after the seasonal rains fall. This is enough to stimulate the growth of a blue-green algae which lures thousands of flamingos and makes for a wonderful sight. Most of the wildlife, including herds of zebra, wildebeest and antelope, can be seen around the waterholes bordering the pan. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;DAMARALAND&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;3c19ec15-f16e-4cb7-a972-7f9957032d75&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; toggle_font_size=&#8221;14px&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span>Damaraland with its exceptionally scenic landscape, which features open plains, ancient valleys and spectacular rock formations, is a wonderful place to visit. The major attractions besides the world-famous ancient rock art, are the sacred Spitzkoppe, the Brandberg, Twyfelfontein, Vingerklip and the otherworldly Petrified Forest. If you\u2019re lucky you might see the rare desert-adapted elephants. The area also hosts Africa&#8217;s largest population of free-ranging rhinos (rhino tracking is a real highlight here). <\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;PETRIFIED FOREST&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;3c19ec15-f16e-4cb7-a972-7f9957032d75&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; toggle_font_size=&#8221;14px&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]The name is a bit misleading as it is not exactly a forest which turned to stone, but rather an accumulation of enormous fossilised tree trunks that are about 280 million years old. Scientists discovered that these trunks hadn\u2019t grown in today\u2019s Namibia but were washed down a river in ancient times when one of the many Ice Ages ended on the Gondwana continent. They believe that there must have been a huge flood that carried the trunks along to where they lie today. Look out for some beautiful specimen of the Welwitschia Mirabilis in the area, which are often called a living fossil due to the fact that they can live for over 1 500 years.[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;TWYFELFONTEIN&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;3c19ec15-f16e-4cb7-a972-7f9957032d75&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; toggle_font_size=&#8221;14px&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span>Twyfelfontein is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and famous for one of the largest concentrations of rock paintings and engravings (Petroglyphs) of the San (Bushmen) in Africa. What is remarkable is that the engravings were made without the use of metal tools and that amongst the motives of hunting scenes, in which hunters are pictured with bow and arrow, are many animal engravings (antelopes, zebras, giraffes, lions, etc.) and a seal. The ocean is about 100 km away. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;SOSSUSVLEI&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;3c19ec15-f16e-4cb7-a972-7f9957032d75&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; toggle_font_size=&#8221;14px&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span>Sossusvlei, with its iconic red sand dunes, is one of the premier attractions in the country. It is located in the Namib-Naukluft National Park and consists of some of the highest sand dunes in the world. The sand here is around 5 million years old and owes its colour to the iron oxide content. Photographers are rewarded with amazing views in the early morning or evening light, when the dunes seem to come alive. Climb Big Daddy (the highest in the Sossusvlei area at 325 metres) or the less strenuous Dune 45 (only 85 metres high). A visit to Deadvlei, located closeby, is a must. This photographer\u2019s playground consists of a clay pan characterised by dark, dead camel thorn trees contrasted against the white pan floor. The pan was formed when the Tsauchab River flooded and the abundance of water allowed camel thorn trees to grow. When the climate changed and the sand dunes encroached on the pan, the river was blocked from reaching the area. The trees are approximately 900 years old and have not decomposed due to the dry climate. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;SPITZKOPPE&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;3c19ec15-f16e-4cb7-a972-7f9957032d75&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; toggle_font_size=&#8221;14px&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span>Spitzkoppe is often called the \u201cMatterhorn\u201d of Namibia and consists of two mountains.

When the cold waters of the Atlantic Benguela current collide with the hot and dry air of the Namib Desert, a thick and dense fog arises. This was the cause of many early explorers in ships to lose their bearings. Shipwrecking on the Namibian coast was common and was soon the site of the biggest ship graveyard in the world. Survivors of these shipwrecks who managed to swim through the heavy surf and reach the coast, still had to face the waterless, hostile coastal desert and would not survive very long either.
