OPEN-AIR DINNER AT SWAKOP RIVER CANYON
February 11, 2015. This is in Nambia
Just beyond Walvis Bay, the Swakop River Canyon has been likened to a moonscape with its unusual rock formations and dry riverbeds seared into the landscape by the glaring sun. Sunset is the most stunning time of day to visit this canyon, as the fading light casts dramatic shadows across the stark environment. Tables draped in linen are an elegant contrast to the glowing desert, and myriad candles surround the festivities, creating an ethereal glow as they reflect off the canyon walls. After a dinner featuring local dishes, the relaxed atmosphere will be enhanced by conversation around a crackling fire.February 11, 2015. This is in Nambia
