Endless horizons.

Namibia rewards curious travellers with immense scenery, accessible wildlife, coastal adventure and rich cultural encounters. Plan distances carefully and reserve key accommodation in advance.

Namibia has a unique mix of wildlife, spectacular scenery, and diverse cultures. Natural attractions include the Namib Desert, which is the oldest desert in the world; the Fish River Canyon, which is the second-largest canyon in the world after the Grand Canyon; the world-famous sand dunes at Sossusvlei; the Skeleton Coast with its extraordinary landscapes; and Etosha National Park, one of the largest game reserves in Africa. Coupled with its natural beauty, Namibia’s good road infrastructure, potable water, and lower levels of crime than most of its neighboring countries make it an ideal destination for tourists.

Wilderness and modern amenities co-exist happily in this land of vivid contrasts. Visitors to Namibia can see the country by means of comfortable coach tours, fly-in safaris, self-drive tours, or guided tours tailored to suit individual needs. A large number of lodges and guest farms are found all over the country. For the more adventurous, there are wilderness safaris, game walks and drives, horse/hiking trails. Popular leisure activities include sand boarding, quad biking, skydiving and paragliding amongst others. Photographic safaris can also be arranged.

Namibia’s human story is every bit as interesting as that written in the rocks, soil and sand of the country. Among the rolling hills of Damaraland, troves of rock art tell of the San people whose lives are inextricably linked with this land. The pastoral Himba, too, are rooted in Namibian soil, their fragile culture clinging on in the face of 21st-century challenges.
