Sandboarding in Namibia's Dorob National Park

Swakopmund - a beautiful coastal city in Namibia - is known for its adventure sports, including sandboarding!⁠ 😮⁠ From my 328-foot perch atop the dunes of the Namib Desert’s Dorob National Park, I feel higher than the colonial German buildings of Swakopmund.⁠ 😍⁠ These are Namibia’s highest commercial dunes in what is often touted as the world’s oldest desert⁠.⁠ ✨⁠ What makes the scene even more astounding is the deep golden sand against a bright cerulean sky dotted with clouds that look like Mother Nature used her Crayola Spin Art Maker.⁠ 🎨⁠ I breathe in and inhale the scent of sand — which I never knew even had a scent — while the African sun kisses my skin and I brace myself for the ride.⁠ 🤗⁠ As I propel myself down the dunes, I manage to hit 45 miles per hour. It’s amazing how quickly smooth plywood against sleek sand can transport you from Point A to Point B - and it's a lot of fun, too!⁠ 🏄‍♀️⁠ Have you ever been sandboarding? #BeyondTheGuidebook ⁠
