Near to the town are the large and famous sinkhole lake, Lake Otjikoto. The depth of the lake are unknown, because towards the end the lake disappear into lateral cave systems.
Grootfontein
Grootfontein lies on the B8, a Namibian National Road that leads from Windhoek to the Caprivi Strip, in the Otavi triangle. In Afrikaans, its name means "Great Fountain" - there is indeed a large hot spring near the town.
In 1885, 40 Boer families from the north-west of South Africa settled at Grootfontein. Part of the Dorslandtrekker, they were heading towards Angola. When that territory fell under Portuguese control, they turned back and tried to establish the "Republic Upingtonia" at Grootfontein.
Hentiesbaai
Situated 440 km from the capital lays Henties bay. 70 km from Swakopmund and 100 km from Walvis bay. The town is predominantly a tourist destination for anglers and 4x4 enthusiasts. Its property market has expanded significantly since the late 1990s, particularly for upmarket holiday accommodation. All the houses have been given peculiar names by its residence.
Swakopmund
Swakopmund lies on the B2, 370 km from Windhoek to the west and is one of the most preferred coastal destinations. This mostly German populated beach resort with its foggy presence and ever changing weather conditions all year around, has lots to offer. Tourist attractions and loads of little collectables and antique shops, a variety of coffee shops and restaurants where you can experience true Namibian cuisine are only a few of the attractions of this coastal town.
Walvis Bay
400 Km from the Capital lies Walvis bay (meaning "whale bay") which presents a small harbour town. It's home to the biggest docking harbour in Namibia. Walvis Bay, with its large bay and sand dunes from the Namib desert, is the tourism activity centre of Namibia. Other attractions include the artificial Bird Island, centre of a guano collection industry, the Dune 7 sand dune (not to be missed), salt works, birdlife and a museum. And the beach resort of Langstrand lies 15 kilometers north.
Lüderitz
Situated 836 Km from Windhoek lies the town Lüderitz. Lüderitz was founded in 1883 when Heinrich Vogelsang purchased Angra Pequena and some of the surrounding land on behalf of Adolf Lüderitz, a Hanseat from Bremen in Germany, from the local Nama chief. Lüderitz began its life as a trading post, with other activities in fishing and guano-harvesting. In 1909, after the discovery of diamonds nearby, Lüderitz enjoyed a sudden surge of prosperity. Today, however, diamonds are mostly found elsewhere and offshore, and Lüderitz has lost a lot of this interest.
Windhoek
Windhoek sometimes pronounced in German: (Windhuk) is the capital and largest city of the Republic of Namibia. It is located in central Namibia
Windhoek is situated in a semi-arid climatic region. Days are mostly warm with very hot days during the summer months, while nights are generally cool. The average annual temperature is 19.47°C (67.05°F), which is high for a site at such a high altitude on the edge of the tropics.
The winter months of May to August usually experience little or no rain.Nights are usually cool.
Namib Naukluft
National Park is a national park of Namibia encompassing part of the Namib Desert (considered the world's oldest desert) and the Naukluft mountain range. With an overall area of 49.768 km², the Namib-Naukluft is the largest game park in Africa and the fourth largest in the world.
The winds that bring in the fog are also responsible for creating the park's towering sand dunes, whose burnt orange color is a sign of their age. The orange color develops over time as iron in the sand is oxidized, like rusty metal; the older the dune, the brighter the color.
Orange River
The Orange river is Situated 815 km from Windhoek or 685 km from Cape town. The river originates in the drankensberg mountains and runs through the Richtersveldt desert area. The river is surrounded by rock formations and spectacular scenery. Lots of small animals and bird life roam these areas freely. All along this river the scenery is amazing and full of life. Ideal for families, and groups.
Fish River
Situated 580 km from the capital Windhoek. The Fish River Canyon is the second largest Canyon in the world. Stretching 650km long and reaching depts of 530 meters deep. This natural landscape is approximately 163 km's long. It is one of the most amazing trails that can be hiked in Namibia.
Hiking this area require a good physical health and should preferably be hiked during the winter months. A Permit is required which you can get in Windhoek from the Namibia Wildlife Resorts. The hike can take between 4 - 7 days.
