The few lingering
effects of jetlag are more than
overwhelmed by the still vivid
recollections of a truly memorable
three weeks in your beautiful
country.

Namibia
Namibia’s bountiful
sunshine, abundance of wildlife, scenic beauty
and rich diversity of geological phenomena provide
the country with a plethora of tourism draw
cards. Its name is derived from the NAMIB
DESERT, a unique geological entity
renowned for the pristine and haunting quality
of its landscapes. Far from being barren, the
long, narrow strip of moist coastal desert plays
host to an unusual variety of fauna and flora,
many aspects of which attract international
scientists.
The cultural diversity and friendliness
of its people in addition to a well-developed
infrastructure bolster Namibia’s appeal.
There is an extensive choice of natural parks
and accommodation establishments ranging from
five-star luxury lodges and upmarket guesthouses
to simple and rustic bush retreats. First-class
camping expeditions are available as scheduled
departures or tailored for the discerning
outdoor explorer. Dune skiing, mountain biking,
white water rafting and abseiling cater for
the adventure seeker.
Begin your
safari in Windhoek and travel south to the majestic
sand dunes of SOSSUSVLEI. Drink
in the barren SKELETON COAST
featuring Swakopmund and ponder the extraordinary
rock engravings and Bushmen paintings of Twyfelfontein.
Journey to Palmwag, an oasis in the heart of
the DAMARLAND, and push north
to the frontier town of Opuwo in the KOAKOVELD
for an encounter with the Himba people and to
gaze at the churning waters of the Epupa Falls.
Explore the ETOSHA NATIONAL PARK
at leisure and have close encounters with cheetah
at OKAHANDJA en route back
to Windhoek.
The Etosha National Park is
among Africa’s best for game numbers
and variety and offers viewing possibilities
throughout the day. With its sparse vegetation,
the park provides fantastic opportunities
for the wildlife photographer. Coupled with
deserts and dunes, desert-adapted fauna and
flora, granite hills and rock formations,
open gravel plains and abandoned colonial
towns, as well as people who express themselves
with rich tribal flare, Namibia is surely
the most photographic country on the continent.
Namibia
is awesome! A land of space, majesty and mystery
awaits you.
Thanks to Skeleton Coast Safaris for the use of
their imagery.
