Fish River Canyon
Located in the South of Namibia, the Fish river Canyon claims the title of the largest canyon in Africa and the second largest in the world. Being approximately 160km long, 27km wide and just over 550m deep only allows for the brave and fit to take on the hikes and walks it has to offer.

Sossusvlei ? Sesriem Canyon
This salt and clay pan is surrounded by never ending sand dunes which form part of some of the highest dunes in the world. If all these dues had the ability to be jealous, then they would all be jealous of Dune 45, due to its stunning view of the sunrises and sunsets and its photo geniality. Not being one of the largest or most popular canyons, Sesriem Canyon makes up for it with character.

The name Sesriem was given to it by the settlers and is Afrikaans, it can be translated into ?six belts?. After coming back from their treks, the settlers would have to tie six belts together, attached to a bucket, in order to scoop water from the canyon. |

Solitaire ? Tropic of Capricorn - Swakopmund
Consisting of a fuel station, post office, small general dealer and a bakery, Solitaire may be small, but it sure lacks no character. After filling your belly with some of the best apple pie, your next stop is the Tropic of Capricorn. The board marking the tropic may be one of the most photographed boards in Namibia, followed closely by the Namibian border signs (which are technically prohibited), but people manage to sneak one or two in.

Swakopmund has become the adventure capital of Namibia, while the city of Windhoek is the Capital. Any adventure junkie will be attracted to Swakopmund, whether they want to jump out of a perfectly good plane or try their luck at sand boarding. |
