Wild at heart but surprisingly accessible, Namibia is one of the prime adventure destinations in Africa. Its flagship park, Etosha, offers superb wildlife-watching, but it’s the Namib Desert which sets this country apart. This is a land of mysteries and challenges, where ancient graphics survive in hidden caves, ‘fairy circles’ of grass dot the plains and silent, arid landscapes harbor highly evolved plants, insects and reptiles. Climbing a giant dune at Sossusvlei, tracking desert-adapted rhinos in Damaraland or drifting over the sands by hot air balloon are experiences you’ll never forget.
 

To absorb the atmosphere of Namibia’s austerely beautiful desert regions and learn about unique flora and fauna, head out on safari to the classic dunescapes of Sossusvlei in the Namib-Naukluft National Park and the shimmering salt pan of Etosha National Park. Adrenaline-seekers can track rhinos on foot in Damaraland or bomb down the dunes on a sandboard near Swakopmund. The remote Kunene region, home to Himba nomads and desert-adapted elephants, is fascinating to explore by 4WD. <<Read More>>
