Deadvlei is another, visual treat, with its dead camel thorn trees on their bed of white clay pans. In German-inspired Swakopmund, try the delicious local Black Forest cake at one of the town's quaint German Bäckerei or indulge in a pint of locally brewed Windhoek Lager. Marvel at the rock petroglyphs and rocky-red Organ Pipes in Twyfelfontein. Learn about the OvaHimba tribe's hunter-gatherer traditions dating back thousands of years. A full- day safari in Etosha National Park provides many opportunities to spot wildlife which may include the big cats and herds of elephants.
