Or the day can be spend at leisure, doing laundry or checking mail or just plain walking around, this coastal town. Swakopmund is also known for its fresh seafood restaurants.

Now the safari is heading north, via Henties Bay through Cape Cross, Uis to Damaraland. It is here at Twyfelfontein that we find one of the biggest collections of ancient rock art and engravings, done thousands of years ago by the San people. Another accolade for Damaraland is that it offers the most beautiful sunset, provided you are at a height to experience it. But the area self is a wonder!
