Namibia Travel Information

Namibia never fails to enthrall 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.
Known for its contrasting landscapes. The desolate Namibia Desert is said to be the oldest in the world, with its high dunes and awe-inspiring sense of space.

The central plateau, with its thorn bush savannah and rugged mountains, rising abruptly from the plains, gives way to the majestic Fishriver Canyon in the south. In the north of the country, landscapes range from dense bush and open plains of the great Etosha Pan, to woodland savannah and lush vegetation. Dinosaur footprints preserved in sandstone, prehistoric rock art, the ancient fossil plant, Welwitschia mirabilis, all bare witness to the timelessness of this country.

The long narrow coastal belt of desert which extends for 50km-140km along the entire coastline and interspersed with dune belts, dry riverbeds and deeply eroded canyons is sometimes known as the ‘Skeleton Coast’.
