Area of the Week – Sossusvlei, Namibia

 

Namib-Nauklift National Park
The Namib is the world’s oldest desert and boasts the highest sand dunes on earth, monsters that reach hundreds of feet into the sky and the Naukluft Mountains are the barrier between the desert and the central interior of the country. The national park encompasses much of the Namib and the Naukluft Mountains.

The Namib Naukluft National Park boasts numerous fascinating aspects including the world-renowned Sossuslvlei, the fresh water bird haven that is Sandwhich Harbour on the coast and unique plant species that have adapted to survive in the harsh environment.

Sossusvlei
Sossusvlei is probably the best known part of the park and it is here where the highest sand dunes can be found – and climbed. Sossusvlei is a pan formed over time by the rarely-flowing Tsauchab River. It is a place of dramatic colours and spectacular scapes and is one place that can sell itself as a must-see destination all on its own.

Area of the week – Pemba and the Quirimbas Islands, Mozambique

There are still some places in Africa that are virtually untouched, places that have escaped the clutches of mass tourism and marketing. The reasons for these places being unknown for so long vary from inaccessibility to political instability in the country. Northern Mozambique is a place that has remained hidden from the mainstream until now because of inaccessibility and civil war.

The Quirimbas Archipelago is a chain of 32 islands stretching hundreds of kilometres, from Pemba to the northern border with Tanzania. Settled by fishermen and Arab traders, and later the Portuguese, many of the islands are uninhabited today – except for the visitors to the lodges. It is a coast with some of the most dramatic reefs and is fast becoming known in the watersports community as an iconic destination.

Besides the water activities and the romantic nature of the islands, the opportunity to experience some early Mozambique history presents itself in places such as Ibo Island where forts, palatial ruins and a ghost town attract many visitors.
