Sossusvlei


The top destination in the Southern Region is Sossusvlei with its monumental dunes, up to 325 m when measured from the base. These star-shaped dunes are a sought-after topic for artists and photographers. Sossusvlei is surely one of the most spectacular sights in Namibia. Located in the Namib Naukluft park, the sand dunes at Sossusvlei are just one excellent reason to visit Namibia.

Sesriem Canyon



The canyon derives its name from the fact that early Afrikaner trekkers had to use six ('ses') leather thongs (a thong is a 'riem') so that their buckets could reach the water far below.The canyon begins as an almost imperceptible but nevertheless deep cleft in level, stony ground, and then widens until it finally flattens out onto the plain.


Climbing to the top of Big Mama, as it is known to the locals, is well worth every bead of sweat. Catch your breath, take a drink and try to avoid camera shake before capturing some unique moments

It is a glittering oasis in the rugged landscapes of northern Namibia that offers relaxation, conferencing and a rare opportunity to come face-to-face with forgotten Africa.

http://www.namibiareservations.com/ruacanaehalodgee.html

The word “eha” describes a piece of jewellery worn by the Himba, but it also means “home”. A few people have explored the Kaokoveld, yet all who have seen it, talk of its amazing beauty.


The landscapes of Kaokoveld and Kunene seem so much larger than any other. Vast grass plains and dense savannahs are punctuated by huge mountains and rolling hills. But the most prominent feature of this area is the tranquil silence.

 
Visit to a Himba village, Sundowners, Scenic drives, Guided walks, Visit to the Ruacana Falls are what can keep you on your feet when visiting the lodge.
