The Kalahari Basin covers most of Botswana and large parts of Namibia and South Africa. The name Kalahari means ‘the great thirst’ and describes the largest continuous sand area in the world. It’s an exceptionally beautiful semi-desert. In Namibia, it is characterized by red dunes, acacias, and golden grass. The diverse wildlife includes oryx, impalas, jackals, and cheetahs, not to mention the famous mongoose. In the three countries, the Kalahari is the last stronghold of the indigenous San people who lived as hunter-gatherers across southern Africa before the modern world began to take over.

Transfer from Namib Desert Lodge Gondwana Collection Namibia to The Delight Swakopmund Gondwana Collection Namibia

In 1892, eight years after German South-West Africa was declared a German protectorate, Swakopmund was founded with the intention of building a port there. By 1907, a bustling little town had emerged from the desert! Swakopmund then boasted the largest European population of any German colony in Africa. For decades, the charming town, now much larger, has been more attractive than ever. The blend of Namibian influences and picturesque colonial-era buildings, palm-lined streets and seaside promenades, the relaxed holiday atmosphere, and the cool sea breeze make Swakopmund one of the country’s most charming destinations.

Despite the turquoise waters of the Atlantic Ocean on its doorstep and the Namib Desert as its backyard, Swakopmund is not a tropical tanning paradise. The moderate climate along the coast is due to the cold Benguela current. The current also causes the night mists for which the town is famous, and which support the rich desert flora and fauna near the coast. Mornings and evenings can be cold all year round – a welcome respite from the inland heat.

Swakopmund has become the country’s adventure Mecca. The desert, dunes and ocean lend themselves to a host of exciting activities: surfing and sand skiing, quad biking, dune karting, beach angling and deep-sea fishing, to name but a few, not forgetting parachuting.

There’s no shortage of stores, bistros and restaurants. Small specialty stores sell handcrafted leather, art objects, hand-woven rugs, wall hangings, hand-embroidered bed and table linen and other items proudly made in Namibia. Superb jewelry, designed and crafted with local gemstones by master goldsmiths, is another Swakopmund specialty.

The Catamaran Charters team We invite you to board the 45-foot Royal Cape Silverwind sailing catamaran, the 60-foot Simon Silversand sailing catamaran, or the 40-foot Admiral Silvermoon motorized catamaran for an adventurous excursion to Pelican Point and the beautiful Walvis Bay. The opportunity to encounter dolphins, whales, turtles, seals, and Mola Mola (sunfish) makes this search for the ocean’s Big Five an exciting adventure, enhanced by sparkling wine, fresh oysters, and other delights on board the spacious and comfortable catamarans.
Activities other than sand and sea entertainment :Visit the art galleries and discover contemporary Namibian art and crafts; visit the museum to learn more about the history of Swakopmund; join one of the tours organized by Karakulia Weavers to discover how Karakul wool is spun and woven into wall hangings and carpets; admire the world’s largest collection of quartz crystals and many other mineral treasures at the Kristall Galerie.

Damaraland:

This vast arid landscape is one of the most beautiful regions in Namibia. Wild, rugged, and exceptionally picturesque, it features open plains, ancient valleys, impressive mountains, and spectacular rock formations. In addition to Spitzkoppe and Brandberg, you will admire the Vingerklip (rock finger), a stack of rocks (35 meters high) in the Ugab Valley east of Khorixas, the former “capital of Damaraland”. To the west of the small town lies Twyfelfontein, a vast gallery of prehistoric rock engravings in the open air. The Petrified Forest, clusters of basalt columns called Organ Pipes, and the Burnt Mountain are located in the same area. Damaraland is also famous for its population of desert-adapted black rhinos, elephants, and lions, as well as a host of other wildlife species.

Twyfelfontein is a renowned World Heritage Site known for possessing one of the richest concentrations of rock art in Africa. Each year, thousands of tourists visit this site to admire approximately 2,500 rock engravings from the Stone Age. The region is home to 17 rock art sites, which collectively feature 212 engraved stone slabs. There are also 13 sites with rock paintings.
The Petrified Forest, located in the Kunene region, features petrified trees dating back 280 million years to the Permian period. This remarkable site offers guided tours along a marked trail to admire the trees encapsulated in stone, while interpretation panels explain its geological history. Visitors are urged to preserve this national monument, making it a unique destination for those interested in the ancient history of the Earth and geology. Its location in the arid desert near Damaraland also offers opportunities for wildlife viewing, including desert-adapted elephants and oryx.

Activities: Take part in guided nature walks, by car or on foot; follow the rhino trail with a guide; visit local communities and the Damara Living Museum.

Accommodation: Damara Mopane Lodge

The walls are adorned with copies of the rock engravings from Twyfelfontein. Each of the 60 double chalets (with air conditioning) has a vegetable and herb garden surrounded by a low wall. The gardens provide fresh ingredients for dinner, which consists of a starter followed by a delicious buffet. There is a swimming pool for relaxation and a viewpoint for enjoying the sunsets. The lodge at the gates of Damaraland is ideal for excursions to Twyfelfontein (130 km), the Petrified Forest (70 km), and the Vingerklip rock pillar (50 km).

Etosha National Park:

The Etosha National Park in central-north Namibia is world-renowned for its abundance of wildlife and first-class safari opportunities. The park is home to 114 mammal species including elephants, black rhinos, lions, and other large felines and predators, giraffes, various antelopes and zebras, as well as hundreds of bird and reptile species. The variety of vegetation ranges from dense bushes to open plains and semi-arid savannah grasslands. During the dry season and times of drought, animals flock to perennial water sources and artificial waterholes maintained throughout the park.

At the heart of the nature reserve, the Etosha Pan is a vast, shallow, 5,000-kilometer depression that can even be seen from space. The great expanse of salt is dry for most of the year, glistening in the sun. But after a good rainfall, it fills with water and attracts dozens of birds, particularly flamingos from the Walvis Bay lagoon on the Atlantic coast.
Etosha’s western boundaries are very different from its south-eastern and eastern parts. Even the characteristic white dust of the salt flats gives way to a reddish-brown soil. Etosha’s western hills are home to mountain zebras.

Safari dans le parc national d’Etosha

Explore the national park with our guides who know the watering holes and the animals that frequent them. Let them introduce you to African wildlife from the elevated seat of an animal viewing vehicle. Early morning or late afternoon offers the best times for wildlife viewing. And, after the enchantment of Etosha, return to the lodge to plunge into the cool waters of the pools. Dine on the veranda under a dome of stars, sit beside a roaring fire, or watch the ruby sun gracefully sink into the landscape. Be at peace. Explore the national park and its incredible wildlife in a 9-seater animal viewing vehicle. Refreshments, snacks, park entrance fees, and passenger liability insurance are included.
Safaris in specially designed vehicles are organized with a retractable roof and large opening windows to maximize photographic opportunities.

Depending on the time of year, these safaris take different routes, but are most often concentrated around waterholes where you’re most likely to spot a variety of wild animals coming to drink and swim.
