Namibia’s endless horizons are a fascination for travellers from all over the world, but ‘you ain’t seen nothing yet’ until you’ve taken in the otherworldly appeal of the Moon Landscapes.
This unreal destination east of Swakopmund in the Erongo region, was the site where scenes from Mad Max Fury Road were filmed and you can experience it too with the dinner date of a lifetime.
Astronaut-Approved
Many people find it hard to believe that such a place exists on Earth, but a team of Chinese astronauts who visited the site in 2011 had to agree with the hype.
The best time to visit the Moon Landscape is at sunset, where you can lap up the dying rays reflecting off the craters and rocks that litter the area.
As the sun sets, you can climb up to the musical rocks for panoramic views over this unique scene. When you tap these lithophonic boulders with another rock, you’ll hear eerie musical notes ring out clear as a bell over the darkening landscapes.
The metallic sound of the musical rocks that resonates across the valley is likely a result of the combination of the rock density and high-degree internal stress.
The magic of the Moon Landscape doesn’t end there. You can also wind up the day with an unforgettable dinner in this unique spot where you’ll be treated to a traditional Namibian barbeque as night falls over this rocky expanse.
It’s an ‘otherworldly’ occasion with strategically placed candles bringing an unbeatable ambience to your surroundings.
To make the most of it, you’ll need a party of eight, but this outdoor space can accommodate as many guests as you’d like. If preferred, you can up the ante with champagne and Namibian oysters to get the celebrations started.
It’s the ideal destination for a surprise proposal or to celebrate a special occasion.
