Travel to Namibia
The hilly red/orange dunes of Sossusvlei, the stark and terrifying Skeleton Coast, the moonscapes of Spitzkoppe, the wonderful wildlife viewing in Etosha, the deep valleys of Fish River Canyon, the infinite starry skies, the glowing African sunsets, the welcoming locals, and seriously tasty food. Yep, Namibia absolutely blew our minds. Head to Etosha National Park and you’ll get to drive alongside elephants, giraffes, lions, black rhinos, and more. You can hit up the Namibian desert for sand dune climbing at sunrise. The darkest skies in the world are in Namibia, so the Milky Way is always shining brightly above your head at night.
Diving in Namibia
There are two fresh water lakes (Lake Guinas and Lake Otjikoto) that you can dive, one of which has a lot of World War II artifacts. Lake Otjikoto is renowned worldwide for the World War I artifacts, hidden beneath its surface. This lake has 2 diveable parts: the first known as "The Reef". The deeper part where the cannons, a small boat and scattered munitions can be found. Lake Guinas is only for technical divers with 30 metre cliffs. The only way to get in the water is by climbing down the cliffs or by getting lowered by a small basket from a pump station. The pump station is about 10 storeys (30 meters) above the water.
