"Just look at all the fantastic stuff you can
do
and see in and
around Swakopmund, along the Skeleton
Coast and in the remainder of Namibia!
There are never enough weeks in vacations to enjoy it all in one go ...
best you stay with us at the Giardino, relax in
the garden,
and spoil yourself with a 'lekker' gourmet dinner and a bottle of wine while deciding what to do.
Once you had your first taste of this "addictive" country, I'll
guess we'll soon talk about your NEXT visit ..."
