Day
3 and 4- Swakopmund.
Our drive to Swakopmund today takes us through some very unusual
scenery, the strangest of which being the 'moon landscape'. Before
arriving at Swakopmund we will stop off at Walvis Bay to visit the
flamingo colony that is present most of the year round. On arrival
in Swakopmund we will settle you in the lodge and then take an orienteering
drive through the small town. Dinner that night will be spent in
a local restaurant, and if you want to experience some Namibian
nightlife then your guide can point you in the right direction!
The following day is spent exploring the markets, shops and beaches
of Swakopmund at your leisure.
There are numerous fun optional activities for the more adventurous.
(Quad biking the dunes, sky diving, scenic flights over the desert
etc.) Your guide will book any optional activities for you. Please
ask Gemma if you have any particular activity in mind, and she will
forward a price guide to you.
