This was our arrival and departure location.

This was the location of the amazing Quiver Tree Forest. 

From Wikipedia: 

The San people traditionally used its branches to make quivers. The forest is spontaneous; the tallest quiver trees are two to three centuries old. The forest was declared a national monument of Namibia in 1995.

The quiver tree is also known for looking upside down because the "leaves" look somewhat similar to roots. This tree has a long history of beliefs that it will bring good luck to anybody that worships a tree and nurtures it. Since diamonds are very rich in Namibia, people say that if one of these trees is dug up, one will get diamonds in their lifetime, but since these trees are blessed nobody wants to dig them up.

This was the location of the amazing Quiver Tree Forest. 

From Wikipedia: 

Near the quiver tree forest, there is another site of natural interest (itself a tourist attraction) for its geology, the Giant's Playground, a vast pile of large dolerite rocks.

This abandoned town in the Namib desert was once a thriving diamond mining area.  Once the diamonds began drying up and a much richer reserve was found nearby, the resident literally left the town leaving even their possessions behind. 

From Wikipedia:

The town was ultimately abandoned in 1956. The geological forces of the desert mean that tourists now walk through houses knee-deep in sand. Kolmanskop is popular with photographers for its settings of the desert sands' reclaiming this once-thriving town, and the arid climate preserving the traditional Edwardian architecture in the area.

Just outside the ghost town is an abandoned train station in the middle of the Namib desert.  This location offers amazing opportunity for Milky Way shots.

This iconic area in Namibia offers a truly unique experience.  Dead camel thorn tress pepper the white clay flat that is surrounded on all sides by brilliant red dunes.  The result is striking.

From Wikipedia:

The clay pan was formed after rainfall, when the Tsauchab river flooded, creating temporary shallow pools where the abundance of water allowed camel thorn trees to grow. When the climate changed, drought hit the area, and sand dunes encroached on the pan, which blocked the river from the area.

The trees died, as there no longer was enough water to survive. The remaining skeletons of the trees, which are believed to have died 600–700 years ago (ca. 1340-1430), are now black because the intense sun has scorched them.^[2][3] Though not petrified, the wood does not decompose because it is so dry.^[4]

We had opportunity to stay in Spitzkoppe. With beautiful rock formations all around.  We also managed to snag some amazing Milky Way shots.

From Wikipedia:

The Spitzkoppe is a group of bald granite peaks or inselbergs located between Usakos and Swakopmundin the Namib desert of Namibia. The granite is more than 120 million years old and the highest outcrop rises about 1,728 metres (5,669 ft) above sea level.

One of the highlights of Namibia is Sossusvlei.  This area has amazing high dunes that are a rich red color. 

From Wikipedia:

This area is characterized by high sand dunes of vivid pink-to-orange color, an indication of a high concentration of iron in the sand and consequent oxidation processes. The oldest dunes are those of a more intense reddish color. These dunes are among the highest in the world; many of them are above 200 metres, the highest being the one nicknamed Big Daddy, about 325 metres high

This gorgeous area is where the Atlantic and the Namib desert meet.  We both flew over this area in a helicopter and drove along the coast by 4x4.  It is an amazing sight to behold the sea of water meeting the sea of dunes.
