LüderitzSouth Coast · KolmanskopA pastel German town on a windswept coast, beside the diamond ghost town the desert is swallowing. Quiver Tree Forest & Giant's PlaygroundSouth · KeetmanshoopTwo wonders side by side near Keetmanshoop — a forest of ancient quiver-tree aloes beneath some of the darkest skies on Earth, and a maze of balancing dolerite boulders glowing at dusk.
