Island of Dolls, Mexico City, Mexico
Mexico’s Isla de Muñecas is located about 17 miles south of the center of Mexico City and is only accessible by boat.

]]>Etosha National Park
Etosha is the first national park that comes to mind when someone mentions Namibia and you shouldn’t miss it for the world. It’s best known for its diverse landscapes that include a coastal desert and a salt pan so large it can be seen from space. Etosha is also home to hundreds of species of mammals, birds, and reptiles, including endangered black rhinoceros.
Dorob National Park
With 1.6 million birds recorded on its grounds, Dorob is heaven on Earth for bird lovers. The national park is covered with dune and gravel plains, but that’s not stopping it from being home to around 75 species of birds, most notably one of Namibia’s flagship species Damara tern.
Namib-Naukluft National Park
Located in the middle of Namib Desert, this park isn’t exactly bursting with life like the previous two. It’s mostly populated with snakes, hyenas, and other desert animals, and a clay pan called Sossusvlei is its most popular tourist attraction, partially thanks to the high red dunes that surround it.

Surfing Adventures

Seal the Deal
Skeleton Coast is one of those places that never cease to surprise us, and rhinoceros, lions, and giraffes aren’t the only animals you’ll find on its shores.

]]>Africa is also the home of a collection of beautiful canyons, and none is more gorgeous than Fish River Canyon in the country of Namibia.
The largest canyon in Africa, this geological wonder is located in the south of the country near its border with South Africa. Stretching 17 miles wide and up to 1,804 feet deep, the Fish River cuts through ancient gneiss to make a sight that must be seen to be believed.
There is a wide variety of activities that can be done in this special area depending on when you visit and the type of visit you want to do.
Intrepid hikers can do the Fish River Hiking Trail, which takes up to 5-7 days through the canyon’s ravine and can only be done in winter when temperatures are low enough to allow for strenuous physical activity.
Most people who visit this special area throughout the year stick to the numerous lodges and campsites at both the northern and southern edges of the park, which are accessible by car. You’ll find all kinds of lookouts to see panoramic views of this magical place.
In short, if you’re planning a trip to southern Africa or Namibia, adding Fish River Canyon to your list of places to see is an absolute must!
