As much as we would love to speak in detail about Namibia, so that our clients have a taste, a look & feel of what that place is like, we can’t. READ MORE BELOW.
Here’s however what we can tell you: Africa is about textures, colours, lights, shades, shapes, smells and sounds. It’s the real “empire of the senses” - and all of them come to you at the same time and with the same intensity. Namibia is a culmination of those ingredients because it has it all in grandiose scales.
It’s also a country that gave us the greatest gift of my human experience so far: the understanding of what physical freedom feels like. We felt physically free. We had never experienced it before until we saw the Namib desert for the first time. On that moment -and we remember it as if it was yesterday- the perception of that awareness hit us. To this day we carry this feeling and we come back to this country often because we don’t want to forget it.
So what about the Damaraland region, specifically? it’s like being on the moon… Only sometimes the moon-alike-landscapes are dark brow, other times dark orange, and then it turns to pink and toasted yellow sand. You can hike big rock formation or slide across vast sandy plains. You can visit Word Unesco Sites, or spot leopard resting in the shade of ochre rocks. Here and there dry river banks will shelter all sorts of wildlife so make sure your eyes grow accustomed to seeing movement in monochrome settings.
Also, as a teaser: you might see elephants sliding down big, pale sand dunes.
And when you do see that happening you will ask yourself, probably nervously blinking many times in a row: “Am I dreaming?”
Well…
