Travel …
Namibia Namibia is a land of distances and rare delights: dramatic desert landscapes and rugged mountains – scenery stripped down to the stark beauty of rock and sand, animated with pure clear light and vibrant colour… not to mention fascinating historical, cultural and game-viewing opportunities.
N
amibia – just northwest of the SA border – is a traveller’s wonderland.
Its vast distances and desert landscapes are home to a range of natural wonders and fascinating, otherworldly experiences. While it might seem wild and rugged, its tourist facilities are of the highest standard – making it easy to appreciate what this extraordinary desert country has to offer. Windhoek, the country’s capital, and the coastal town of Swakopmund certainly offer a way in with their German-influenced architecture, culture and cuisine, but the true wonders of Namibia lie beyond the cities, in its breathtaking landscapes and natural attractions: the Fish River Canyon, the Etosha National Park, the hauntingly beautiful landscapes of the Kalahari and the Namib Deserts, the ghost towns of the Skeleton Coast and rare rock art.
