Namibia
Vivid colours, abundant wildlife, deserts and dunes - this is nature at its pristine best
Namibia is a land of geographical extremes encompassing vast areas of inhospitable desert,
towering mountain ranges and magnificent, unspoilt wilderness areas, home to elephant, rhino, lion,
giraffe, and a host of unique flora and fauna.
To the west lies the Skeleton Coast, one of the most desolate shorelines in the world, the southern end
of which merges with the soaring dunes of the immense, enigmatic Namib Desert. In the extreme
south, bordering South Africa, we find the dramatic, rocky mountain gorges of the Fish River Canyon;
to the north by contrast, rich farmland, fed mainly by the Okavango, alternates with sub tropical forest
and the mopane bush of the Etosha National Park. Due to it's historic connections with Britain, Germany
and South Africa, Namibia has one of the best road networks in Africa, and they drive on the left.
When to go: From March to September is the best time to visit as it is dry and pleasantly warm.
October and November, two very hot months, are followed by a rainy season, generally from December
to February.
