If you are heading to Namibia then a beautiful place to visit is Swakopmund, known as the Landscapeadventure Capital of Namibia. The Town is pleasant with new modern arcades being built, but still keeping the history behind its old colonial style buildings.  You see the

Whether it be panoramic vista or the amazing Night sky, the sheer scale of the environment and its unspoilt nature always amazes me.  From the Etosha Pan to the magnificent dunes of Sossusvlei, the landscapes capture the imagination and inspire you to explore this wonderful country.

This is a land where you can look from horizon to horizon and see no sign of human interference, just pure exhilarating wilderness. This is a land of such stark contrasts… read the rest of “Namibia (part one) – by Warwick Blow”

Namibia Marine Cruise

Posted on 15/04/10, filed under Namibia | No Comments

Whilst in Swakopmund I would heartily recommend a harbour cruise from Walvis Bay. It is an interesting 45 minute drive south of Swakopmund with orange sand dunes on one side and the dark blue of the Atlantic Ocean on the other. I did this in early December and it was rather surreal to be listening to Bing Crosby singing ‘I’m dreaming of a white Christmas’ on the radio when it… read the rest of “Namibia Marine Cruise”

Swakopmund, just two hours drive from Windhoek,  is the adrenaline capital of Namibia and so I thought I should get fully involved and try out the different white knuckle activities on offer.  As we came into the town there was a big sign post for Skydiving! – Ok, here we go….
