Shrouded in mystery since the
feverish diamond rush of the early 1900s, the scenic
splendours of the coastal Namib Desert from Lüderitz
to Walvis Bay can now be explored
on the invigorating six -day Treasure Trail. This
intriguing stretch of coastline in the wilderness
section of the Namib - Naukluft Park is |
|
 |
|
| now open to limited
tourism, enabling you to drive your vehicle through 4x4 terrain that will test your driving |
|
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| |
 |
| |
skills to the utmost.
You will visit places with evocative names like Silvia
Hill, Spencer Bay, the Oyster Cliffs, Meob Bay,
Charlottental and Sandwich Harbour; along the way
you will encounter the rusting remains of ships,
ox-wagons and trucks; you will lose track of time
amongst derelict dwellings and disintegrating mining
paraphernalia that resonate with the dreams and aspirations of the diamond |
|
|
|
diggers and fortune hunters
of the past, and you will leave transported by
the romance and mystique of this tantalisingly
beautiful desert wonderland. |
