Solitaire – Swakopmund, Namibia
We leave Solitaire today, journeying on to the Atlantic coast where we spend the next two nights. We cross over the Tropic of Capricorn and allow some time for some fantastic photographic opportunities. Swakopmund is cooler, with the Atlantic sea air drifting in off coast. There are some wonderful adventure activities for you to try out here, such as quad biking, sand boarding, skydiving, and much more. Alternatively, you can take a walk through to town where you can spend time visiting the shops, restaurants, museum and art galleries. There is also a lovely promenade on which to enjoy a long stroll, sip on a cold drink or grab a bite to eat. The following day is free to enjoy the optional activities available on offer here.
Please note: The only meal served in Swakopmund is breakfast. Then you don’t have to worry about being back for meals if you take part in half-day or full-day activities. In Swakopmund, you’ll find a variety of bakeries and cafes serving meals at reasonable prices (allow between ZAR 80 and 150 per meal). Take advantage of these days by relaxing and enjoying them at your leisure.
