Dunes for days
The Namib Desert, one of the world's oldest and driest, stretches along Namibia's coast in a mesmerizing expanse of golden dunes. Near the coastal town of Swakopmund, thrill-seekers take to the skies for a bird's-eye view of this surreal landscape. Paragliding here offers a unique perspective on the desert's shifting sands and stark beauty. From high above the dunes, you might even spot the desert wildlife that make this harsh locale home, such as ostriches and oryxes.
