This is the Adventure Centre of the Namibia. One of my favorites is the afternoon Quad bikes on the massive dunes and on the beach unbelievable. The morning is open to the people who want to go to Henties bay and the Cape Seal Colony. The Seal Colony is a area where more then 100 000 seals live on a very small area on the beach. There are activities like Skydive- Deep sea fishing- Sand board- Desert Camel rides- Dolphin cruises, Hot air Ballooning over dunes and coast and plenty more.

We leave this area, move to a place called Dead vlei. A guide will lead you on a guided tour to explain about the area where the water connect with the dunes and much more.

Namibia, officially the Republic of Namibia (Afrikaans: Republiek van Namibië, German: Republik Namibia), is a country in southern Africa whose western border is the Atlantic Ocean. It shares land borders with Angola and Zambia  to the north, Botswana and Zimbabwe  to the east, and South Africa to the south and east. It gained independence from South Africa on 21 March 1990 following the Namibian War of Independence. Its capital and largest city is Windhoek  (German: Windhuk).

Namibia is a member state of the United Nations (UN), the Southern African Development Community (SADC), the African Union (AU), the Commonwealth of Nations and many other international organisations. It has been given many names: "the land of contrasts," "the land God made in anger," "the ageless land."[citation needed] For many years it was known only as South West Africa, but it adopted the name Namibia, after the Namib Desert. It is the second least densely populated country in the world, after Mongolia.
