| Duwisib
Castle was constructed in 1908 by eccentric
Hansheinrich von Wolf, and his American wife Jayta.
Surrounded by lawn and trees in the midest of
a dry savanna landscape, this medieval castle
is one of the more peculiar sights in Namibia
and has been preserved relatively well. |

The Sossusvlei,
Namibia`s famous highlight in the heart of the Namib
Desert, is a huge clay pan, enclosed by giant sand dunes.
Some of the spectacular hills of sand are, at a height
of 300 metres, the highest in the world. Only after
heavy rainfall, which is a rare event in this area,
does the vlei fill with water. As the clay layers hardly
allow any water infiltration, a turquoise lake will
remain for quite some time.

Sesriem
Canyon, an impressive gorge of about 1
km in length, is also in the vicinity of Sesriem.
The Tsauchab river, which takes its source in
the Naukluft Mountains, carved this 30 metres
deep fault into rock agglomerates.
Early explorers had to tie six lengths of thongs
together to draw water from the pools in the canyon,
hence the name "Sesriem". |
