Swakopmund
Swakopmund is situated right on the coast of the Atlantic. Definitely worth a visit is the Cape Cross Seal Colony, where the icy waters created by the Benguela Current are home to tens of thousands of seals. No less fascinating is a stroll through the town of Swakopmund, one of the many sights here being the jetty of historic fame, stretching far into the sea, or a drive to the Lagoon at Walvis Bay, some 30 kilometers to the south of Swakopmund, famous for its great flocks of flamingos and pelicans.
Namibia's Desert Regions
The breathtaking scenery of the country, combined with its unique flora, never fails to fill visitors with enthusiasm. On a flight of fancy, why not travel to Intu Africa Lodge and live the Bushman village experience, a way of life of one of the last so-called primitive tribes on earth?
Etosha National Park
As far back as 1907, this game park was declared a nature reserve; during the 1950's, it extended right up to the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, covering a total area of 100 000 square kilometers, which, at that time, made it the largest national park in the world. In 1964, the nature park was "reduced" to 22 270 square kilometers, with a view of creating settlement areas in Kaokoland and Damaraland. Thanks to its great variety and number of wildlife species, the Etosha National Park has remained a highly popular tourist destination.
