Namibia

Namibia never fails to enthral its visitors, to charge the fantasies and imaginations of narrators in their efforts to aptly describe the many-facetted grandeur and harsh splendour of this desert country. Namibia is known for its contrasting landscapes. The desolate Namib Desert is said to be the oldest in the world, with its high dunes and awe-inspiring sense of space... Namibia is located in southwest Africa. It is a large and mainly arid country sharing borders with Angola, Botswana, South Africa , Zambia and Zimbabwe. Along its entire length, the vast shifting sand dunes of the Namib Desert spread inland for 80 to 130km. Sossusvlei hosts postcard perfect Sand Dunes – a photographers delight! A fascinating land of contrasts – from the interior sand basin of the Kalahari to the Etosha Pan (a dried-out saline lake), surrounded by grasslands and bush which support a large and varied wildlife. The Etosha National Park & Game Reserve is one of the finest in Africa, in that it remains, to a large extent, free of human influence.
