This is a land of vivid contrasts and stark beauty making Namibia a most unusual destination of vast open spaces and extraordinary landscapes. The Namib Desert which is the oldest desert on the planet, is a sea of red sand lying along the Atlantic Ocean, with the world famous red dunes at Sousousvlei. The Kalahari Desert, a sparsely vegetated savannah, lies to the east. The rugged and majestic terrain of the ghostly Skeleton Coast is fascinating, while the scenic coastal town of Swakopmund is a haven in the sea of sand. The many national parks and game reserves boast a huge variety of wildlife in its dramatically different environments. The blinding white saltpans of Etosha National Park, filling with water during the summer months, and the Damaraland region with its dessert-adapted elephants are fantastic wildlife safari destinations. For hiking enthusiasts, the spectacular Fish River Canyon in the south is breathtaking.
Situated on South Africa’s northern border, huge, sparsely populated Namibia is a country of big skies and dramatic scenery. With landscapes providing great contrasts with the other Southern African countries it is a wonderful addition to an itinerary encompassing Botswana, Victoria Falls and South Africa. Otherwise a 10 day to 2 week itinerary in Namibia alone gives the visitor everything from the dunes of the Namib Desert, desert-adapted wildlife of Damaraland, Big 5 safaris in Etosha National Park and the Hartmans River valley for lunar landscapes and the nomadic Himba tribes. It is a country like no other and certainly will add a whole new dimension to Southern Africa for those return travellers. The remote, luxurious and exclusive lodges make an amazing Namibian safari and provide intrepid travellers with havens of serenity and comfort.
Best time to travel is between May and September, when the daytime temperatures are more bearable then the scorching summers and the air becomes crisp and clear.
