Namibia

THE LIVING DESERT

The Soul of Africa

Namibia stands out as one of Africa's most remarkable destinations, offering visitors a rare combination of spectacular landscapes, diverse wildlife, and rich cultural heritage. The country features towering red sand dunes in the Namib Desert, world-class wildlife viewing in Etosha National Park, the mysterious Skeleton Coast, and ancient rock art sites that date back thousands of years. With fewer people per square mile than almost any other country, Namibia provides travelers with wide-open spaces and uncrowded natural attractions.

Namibia's attractions range from coastal adventure hubs to remote wilderness areas where traditional cultures still thrive.

Skeleton Coast and Rugged Coastline

The Skeleton Coast stretches along Namibia's Atlantic coastline between the Ugab and Kunene rivers, creating one of Africa's most remote and distinctive landscapes. This desolate region combines harsh ocean conditions with the Namib Desert, resulting in a place where shipwrecks, abundant marine life, and specially adapted wildlife coexist.

Fish River Canyon and the South

Fish River Canyon stands as the second largest canyon in the world and serves as southern Namibia's premier geological attraction. The canyon stretches over 160 kilometers long, reaches up to 27 kilometers wide, and plunges to depths of 550 meters in places.

Damaraland and Ancient Heritage

Damaraland sits in northwestern Namibia and stands out for its ancient rock art, unique desert wildlife, and dramatic mountain landscapes. This remote region protects thousands of years of human history through prehistoric engravings while supporting rare animals that have adapted to survive in harsh desert conditions.

Windhoek, Namibia's Capital

Windhoek, the capital city of Namibia, is a vibrant urban hub that occupies a central position within the country. Geographically, it is nestled within the Khomas Highland region, surrounded by undulating hills and vast savannas, offering a picturesque backdrop that enhances its appeal. This city boasts a unique blend of cultural influences, stemming from its historical ties to both German colonialism and indigenous Namibian traditions.
