The Blonde Land

Once you've been around Namibia a couple of times you start recognising the same faces, year after year. We call them "sandbox addicts", because they save all their leisure time, their sick leave, their annual vacations and their long weekends to slip across the borders and visit their beloved best spots. They've come to play in the world's largest sandbox: Namibia. And they will not be disappointed.

Magic about the sea

“There was a magic about the sea. People were drawn to it. People wanted to love by it, swim in it, play in it, look at it. It was a living thing that is as unpredictable as a great stage actor: it could be calm and welcoming, opening its arms to embrace it’s audience one moment, but then could explode with its stormy tempers, flinging people around, wanting them out, attacking coastlines, breaking down islands. It had a playful side too, as it enjoyed the crowd, tossed the children about, knocked lilos over, tipped over windsurfers, occasionally gave sailors helping hands; all done with a secret little chuckle” - Cecelia Ahern
