NAMIBIA

“In a word…… haunting!” 
– fellow traveler describing Namibia

“Namibia combines in one country so many of my passions – the sculpted, natural-born perfection of a sand dune, wildlife in great numbers and with great stories, and a palpable sense of wilderness at so many turns. Etosha is one of my favourite parks in Africa, the Namib is one of the world’s most beautiful deserts and my love of Damaraland, with its desert lions, desert elephants and black rhinos, deepens with each passing year.”
– Anthony Ham, writer

HAUNTING BEAUTY

Few countries in Africa can match Namibia’s sheer and diverse natural beauty. The country’s name itself derives from the world’s oldest desert, the Namib. When walking, driving or just merely stopping to take it all in, there are few more stirring desert locations on the planet. From the majestic, dead-tree valleys of the Sossusvlei to the endless sand dunes plunging down to the sea at Sandwich Harbour and the Skeleton Coast. As you move inland, across the heart of the country, you reach the rhino haven area known as Damaraland, the glorious the Naukluft Mountains, the Brandberg, Spitzkoppe and the awe inspiring Fish River Canyon. With rivers, rolling hills, endless desert and sweeping seas, there is no African landscape that can take your breath away like Namibia.

WILDLIFE

When you think of safari, it is seldom Namibia is offered as a safari country. However, Namibia is one of Africa’s best places to watch wildlife specially in the country’s north. Etosha National Park belongs in conversation as one of the most unique wildlife-watching destinations in the world. From the large herds of elephants, black rhinos and plains game in abundance like the gemboks to the big cats that naturally follow them, Etosha is full of a diverse list of animals to track and observe. Damaraland is a wonderful place to see desert-adapted elephants and lions, and also happens to host Africa’s largest population of free-ranging rhinos. If you want to experience tracking then walking with rhinos, this is the place for you.
