Namibia boasts remarkable natural attractions such as the Namib Desert, the Fish River Canyon Park, Etosha National Park and the Kalahari Desert. Its people speak different languages, including some of the Khoisan languages which include the ‘clicks’.

Highlights:

• Brandberg Mountains – The highest mountain in Namibia at 2 573 m.
• Etosha National Park
• Kolmanskop – A ghost town just outside Lüderitz.
• Waterberg Plateau Park – Another good place to watch wildlife.
• Sossusvlei – The most popular entry point for people wanting to visit the Namib Desert.
• Skeleton Coast – The northern coastal part of the Namib Desert, named for the dozens of ships that were beached in the thick fog that is frequent where the desert meets the Atlantic.
• Spitzkoppe – The Matterhorn of Namibia.
• Fish River Canyon Park -The second largest canyon in the world.
• Kaokoland – Home to the Himba tribe, desert elephants, desert lions, Epupa Waterfalls and many more attractions in this north-western corner of Namibia
• NamibRand Nature Reserve – The largest privately owned nature reserve on the continent and the only International Dark Sky Place on the continent as well.
• Most of the country is a safari paradise – You can see a wide variety of animals, including critically endangered rhinos; plenty of impala, springbok, and kudu; and even the elusive desert elephant on tours. Namibia is also home to the world’s largest cheetah population. A visit to the Cheetah Conservation Fund sanctuary will give you an up-close-and-personal introduction to these speedy mammals.
• Dolphin – and whale-watching tours operate year-round in Walvis Bay; fishing charters dot the entire coastline; and the Cape Cross seal colony is something to behold: over 100,000 barking, waddling, swimming (and unfortunately also pooping) seals crammed into a half-mile-long coastal zone, like the world’s biggest animal beach party.
• You won’t be eating any endangered species, but Namibia is still a meat-eaters paradise, offering world-class beef from its cattle farms, and tasty game meat like impala and springbok steaks, wildebeest carpaccio, kudu filets, and other meaty treats from its plentiful grazing herds. Near the coast, you can complete the surf-and-turf special with freshly caught local fish, such as kingklip, and ubiquitous oysters from Namibia’s flourishing aquatic farms.
