The resort is located on the Kavango River, and the falls are accessible by foot from here. The falls, in fact, are not falls as

Swakopmund (German for “Mouth of the Swakop”) is a city on the coast of North-western Namibia, 280 km (170 miles) West of Windhoek, Namibia’s capital. Swakopmund is the capital of the Erongo dministrative district. The town has 42,000 inhabitants and covers 193 square kilometres (75 sq mi) of land. The city is situated in the Namib desert. Swakopmund is a beach resort and an example of German colonial architecture. It was founded in 1892 as the main harbour for German South-West Africa, and a sizable part of its population is still German speaking today. The city lies on the B2 road and the Trans-Namib Railway from Windhoek to Walvis Bay. It is also home to Swakopmund Airport and Swakopmund Skydiving Club. Buildings in the city include the Altes Gefängnis prison, designed by Heinrich Bause in 1909. The Woermannhaus, built in 1906 with a prominent tower, is now a public library. Its important to visit these landmarks in our African Safari packages.

Day 16,17 Swakopmund to Sossusvli
Distance approx. 347 Km Driving time approx. 5 hours

Here we have a great camp site in the Namib dessert where we will spend the next 2 nights from here there are a number of wonderful attractions to be enjoyed around Sossusvlei in the largest conservation area in Namibia, the Namib-Nakluft National Park, which covers almost 50,000 km2. The top attraction of the park and the second most popular attraction in Namibia, Sossusvlei is renowned for its majestic, warm red, starshaped dunes contrasting against the stark white floors of the pans. Other attractions in close proximity to Sossusvlei include Sesriem Canyon, Dune 45, Hiddenvlei, Big Daddy and Deadvlei. All of these attractions can be accessed from the road that takes you to Sossusvlei and are all well worth a visit. In a number of areas surrounding Sossuvlei look out for the petrified dunes. These are ancient dunes that are approximately 1 billion years old and have solidified into rock.

Day 18,19 Sossusvli to Aus
Distance approx. 345 Km Driving time 5 hours

This is where we will spend our last 2 nights in Namibia from where we will visit the small town of Luderitz and also visit the old ghost town of kolmanskop with its very interesting history This tranquil little desert town is situated 125km east of Luderitz and the name means ‘out’ in German but may be derived from a Khoi-Khoi word which means the ‘place of the snakes’.Aus is tucked between the folds of several hills, and if you’ve ventured this far, then the chances are you’re on the way to the coast. After the German surrender to South African troops in World War I, Aus became an internment camp for German military officers. As many as 1,550 prisoners were held at Aus, and the town’s population was further boosted by around 600 South African guards. The railway to Luderitz stops here, as some years ago the continual struggle to keep the line clear of the Namib Desert sand was abandoned, and in places the line is now covered by massive dunes. One of the major attractions of the area around Aus is the Namib Feral Horses. They are the world’s only wild desert-dwelling horses and theories as to their origin are many. A logical favourite is that they were descended from German Schutztruppe cavalry horses abandoned during the South African invasion of 1915. Another is that they were brought by Nama raiders moving north from beyond the Orange River, whilst a third claims they’re descended from a load of ship-wrecked horses en-route from Europe to Australia. More local (and believable), is the story they’ve been bred from the stud stock of Baron Captain Hans-Heinrich von Wolf, the owner of Duwisib Castle

Day 20 Aus to Vioolsdrift South Africa
Distance approx. 348 Km Driving time 5 hours

Here we will be crossing the border back into South Africa and staying on the banks of the orange river. Vioolsdrif is a village on the Orange River in the north-western part of South Africa, known as Namaqualand. The name in Afrikaans means ‘the ford (shallow river crossing) of the violin’. It is reportedly named after Jan Viool (“John Violin”), who is said to have played the fiddle in these parts in the nineteenth century. Some say he was a Nama man, who used to guide ox-wagons across the ford. An accomplished player, he would fiddle away merrily on the riverbank while waiting for wagons to arrive. These claims await elaboration, but we enjoy telling these stories in all our African Safari packages.

Day 21 Vioolsdrift to Klawer
Distance approx. 433 km; Driving time approx. 4,2 hours

This is our final night on tour where we will stay camp over on a working wine farm enjoy a good meal together and look back on the trip over a glass of wine or 3.

It is situated on the right bank of the Olifants River, 17 kilometres (11 mi) south-east of Vredendal and 240 kilometres (150 mi) north of Cape Town. According to the 2011 census it has a population of 6,234 people in 1,680 households.[1] Then name Klawer comes from the Afrikaans word for a type of wild clover which grows here after the rains
