NAMIBIA HOLIDAY – where modern and ancient meet

Wedged between the Kalahari and the South Atlantic, boasting deserts that meet misty oceans, echoing canyons, and a boundlessness that knows no end, a Namibia holiday is where modern and ancient sit side by side, where you can experience a cappuccino in a buzzing, vibey coffee shop in bustling Windhoek one day, and experience ancient Bushman rock engravings the next. From swamps to deserts, and grizzled German farmers to ochre painted Himba tribesman, this is the land of contrasts, and Khan River Lodge is the place to stay, offering comfort and luxury as well as true Namibian hospitality, ensuring that what they offer, from thrilling hunting safaris to awesome sightseeing will be the most remarkable Namibia holiday ever.

Windhoek:

If you're expecting the usual sprawl and squalor of just another African city, then you will be pleasantly delighted, as this odd city is spotless, with the German legacy being seen everywhere; in the architecture, the cafés and bakeries. Dominating the skyline is the Christuskirche, a church completed in 1910 to commemorate the end of the wars against the Herero. For shoppers, good buys include jewellery as well as ostrich or buffalo-hide leather goods. Altogether a pleasant place to while away a few days before heading into the Namib or National Parks.

The Towering Spitzkoppe

One of Namibia's most recognisable landmarks is a must see on your Namibia holiday, as it rises mirage-like above the dusty plains of southern Damaraland. Its dramatic shape has inspired its nickname, the Matterhorn of Africa and was first climbed in 1946, and is now popular with both local and foreign rock climbers.

Skeleton Coast

The name is used for the entire desert coastline because sailors washed ashore from shipwrecks along the coast and had simply no chance of survival and to add to the mystery, a misty fog hangs in the air for much of the year, giving the barren coast an eerie feeling.

Khan River Lodge can tailor you a fully inclusive trip of a lifetime that will make a Namibia holiday the envy of all those who love to travel.
