This fascinating
and unique country is full of wide horizons, endless
stretches of golden desert dunes and rocky plains
so unusual they don't seem to come from this world
at all. Its vast open spaces are home to a wealth
of birds and animals, some of them rare protected
species, and some exquisite plant life, some of
which can be found nowhere else in the world.
And that's what makes Namibia such an exciting
holiday destination, a unique wonderland. There
are so many unusual things to see here... the
apricot glow of the desert dunes at sunset, the
magic of the silvery shimmer of Etosha Pan, surreal
rock formations, sunbaked plains full of immense
fossilized trees, extinct volcanoes and mountain
slopes which have been fused by some ancient cataclysm.
he country's
rich blend of cultures and traditions offer a
diversity of experiences. Stay in safari lodges
and see a wealth of game in the untouched wilderness
of the major wildlife sanctuary, Etosha National
Park or explore the Namib-Nauklaft region, home
to some of the most unusual plant life in the
world, including the Welwitshia. Travel through
stark and desolate scenery to visit the magnificent
Fish River Canyon, and the hot spring resort of
Ai Ais. Enjoy the surreal desolation of the incredible
Skeleton Coast Park and the magic of the picturesque
coastal town, Luderitz, where Bartholomew Dias
first set foot on African soil. There's also the
charming seaside playground of Luderitz, the untamed
magic of the Damaraland, Bushman relics at Twyfelfontein
and the Waterberg Plateau, the unique geological
curiosity of Organ Pipes and Burn Mountain, and
great fishing and game viewing on the Caprivi
Strip.
