Its most stunning imagery is that of haunting technicolor landscapes of swirling orange dunes, shimmering mirages and treacherous dust devils. Every stop and overnight stay is exceptionally remarkable! Encounter nature and culture up-close; experience the city, desert dunes, historic sites and rock paintings, the Bushmen and the tribes-people of Himba and see the amazing hordes of wildlife.
