Henties Bay & Surroundings
The town of Henties Bay hugs the cold Altantic Ocean to the north of Swakopmund and carries the ambience of a fisherman’s haven. True to its humble beginnings, Henties Bay is a prime vacation spot for all those with a love for shoreline angling. In 1929, Major Hentie van der Merwe was on a hunting expedition in the central Damaraland area when their water supply ran out. Ploughing through thick desert sands and scorching heat, he happened upon a small fresh water spring just south of the Omaruru River mouth. With their water supplies replenished, the major was able to continue the journey home. He returned the next year to build a small wooden shelter near the spring, it would become his own personal holiday retreat for years to come. He invited friends and family to his little patch of beach and they named the area Hentie’s Bay. Camping was the norm with each bringing own supplies for an incredible experience along the wild coasts of the Namib. In 1951, the then South West African Administration offered plots of land for sale, the only condition was that no permanent structures were to be erected. In 1966, the plots were redrawn to be either left or right of the riverbed. A shopkeeper named Köstens set up shop to sell basics such a sugar, coffee and paraffin. Since then the settlement has grown into a fully fledged town with filling stations, restaurants and angling shops selling equipment and bait. Home to the annual Fish Festival and a favorite vacation destination for fishermen, Henties Bay is picturesque and slow paced. A few 4x4 routes can be explored in the surrounding area as well as hiking trails and various camping spots such as Jakkalsputz. The beach offers wonderful views into the habitats of dainty marine creatures in the rock pools to the south of the town. Explore them at your leisure when the tides are low.

Skeleton Coast
Along the north western stretches of the wild Namib Desert lies a land of both wonder and danger. The infamous Skeleton Coast National Park stretches across 16,000km² of wild coast, endless horizons and desert ambience. On a sunny day the ocean is a canvas of blues and grays and one would never imagine that it hides a rift of rocks that has sent many a ship to its doom. The name aptly refers to the beaches covered with bleached whale bones as well as those of unlucky sailors. Probably the most famous story of all is that of the Dunedin Star. The liner was grounded about 500m from the beach in 1935, what followed was an intense rescue effort for 26 days involving numerous other ships, Ventura Bomber planes from Cape Town and an overland convoy in one of the most incredible rescue attempts ever made. Two books were published, vividly portraying the events that led up to and followed the disaster. "Dead Reckoning: The Dunedin Star Disaster"by Jeff Dawson and "Skeleton Coast"by John Marsh both accurately lay out a scene of extreme survival and incredible heroism in an area renowned for not allowing its victims to escape unscathed. Indeed, many of the survivors, including 3 airmen, were never the same after their encounter with the Skeleton Coast.

Our guide to Tsumkwe by our Namibia local expert - Tsumkwe can be considered one of the main towns of Bushmanland and is a hub of San activity. Although small in size, this little village offers passage to the Khaudum National Park from the south, don’t blink your eyes though or you might miss it!

Waterberg Plateau
Our guide to Waterberg Plateau by our Namibia local expert - The Waterberg Plateau National Park was proclaimed in 1972 in an effort to safeguard wildlife populations from poachers. Stretching over 41,000 hectares the plateau houses some of Namibia’s rare and endangered species such as black and white rhino, sable antelope and blue wildebeest as well as those found in abundance. The Waterberg is also a very important historical site as it was here that the indigenous Herero forces lost their last stand against the imperial German forces in 1904. It is estimated that two thirds of the Herero population was lost, the rest found refuge in neighboring Botswana (the then Bechuanaland).
