Namibia Journeys Tours and Safaris

Desert Bush and Beach Budget

Sossusvlei landscape is a painting in red and yellow ochres with peachy highlights, subtle chalky whites and creams, burnt oranges, sienna and brown. There is a deep quietness in its vast spaces that cannot be described. Namibia is a land of contrasts - its people and landscapes. Linger at a look-out point on the Atlantic Sea, where dusky pink desert dunes meet an icy, peppermint-green Atlantic Ocean. A fellow traveller described it perfectly when he said: Have you ever imagined that there is such a place in the world? I haven’t. And I am grateful to have been there. Expect not the frothy streams, the lush meadows, the dark woods or the snowy caps. Expect oceans of Savannah swaying with dry, golden grass, ancient riverbeds, enormous, polychromatic dunes, fantastic lunar landscapes that plunge into the Atlantic on the one side and yield to the African continent on the other. Also expect flora and fauna magically adapted to a waterless existence, iconic big game of Africa and a coastline teeming with marine life. Drive through enormous landscapes sprawling around you like a vast circle with unbending roads cutting through its diameter. Here, you will find your peace and solitude for your soul.

The advantages of stepping back and finding refuge in solitude are vast. Beyond the immediate sense of relief from stress and sensory overload, regular periods of solitude can sharpen your focus, boost creativity, and deepen your self-awareness and understand your relationships. By learning to cherish your own and your partner’s company, you will cultivate resilience and discover a sense of peace that you can take back into the hustle and bustle of your lives, armed with a clearer mind and a more empathetic heart.

I encourage you, my friends, to take a step back and see where you are guided. Perhaps the quiet is calling you too. Namibia remains how man found it Highlights: Windhoek, Savannah Bush, Etosha Wildlife, Sossusvlei, Desert Moon Landscape, Kuiseb Canyon, Solitaire, Namib Desert, Naukluft Park and Swakopmund.
