"Namibia " is derived from the Namib Desert, considered to be the oldest desert in the world. Situated in South West Africa, between the Namib and Kalahari deserts, Namibia has the least rain-fall of any country in sub-Saharan Africa. With its well-developed infrastructure, some of the best tourist facilities in Africa and an impressive list of breathtaking natural wonders, touring Namibia is truly a pleasure.

 

Visit the capital of Windhoek and the lovely coastal town of Swakopmund to discover remnants of the country’s German influence, reflected in the architecture, culture, cuisine and the annual Oktoberfest celebrations. To properly appreciate this extraordinary country, you will have to venture out of the cities to explore the remarkable natural landscapes Namibia has to offer.

 

The arid and rocky Kaokoveld in the north, the impressive Fish River Canyon in the south; the vast Etosha National Park teeming with local subspecies, such as desert lions, desert elephants and the Hartmann's Mountain Zebra; the hauntingly beautiful Kalahari Desert; and of course the red dunes of the Namib Desert, which stretches for nearly 1000 km along the magnificent Atlantic coastline; the Skeleton Coast...studded with ship wrecks and abandoned towns.

 

Namibia is an ideal destination for travellers who have been to Africa before, for whom quantity of wildlife is no longer a prerequisite. Namibia is foremost about incredible scenery, rugged mountains and red dunes against dazzlingly blue skies, the photographers paradise.
