Reasons to Visit Namibia

1

Unique

Namibia is quite unlike any other country on the African continent. The dramatic coastal beauty, vast desert landscapes, and prolific wildlife make it exceptional. The land is so sparsely inhabited that you could spend hours on a stretch of road without encountering another soul. It is an overwhelming experience, and indeed away from it all.

2

Infrastructure

Despite being away from it all, the country has a very decent infrastructure, which is why it is the only other country besides South Africa to which we offer private overland tours. Road tripping across the breathtaking backdrop of desert, canyons, and the frosty blue of the Atlantic adds a whole different dimension to the appeal.

3

Photography

Though you may be able to enjoy traditional safari game drives elsewhere in Southern Africa, Etosha's striking arid landscape makes it incredibly distinctive. Many professional wildlife photographers cite Etosha as one of their favorite destinations because of its remarkable landscapes. Beyond Etosha, nowhere else in Southern Africa will you find arid scenery like the dunes dancing up and down Sossusvlei.

4

Adventure

Opportunities for adventure abound in Namibia. While game drives in Etosha and exploring Sossusvlei are undoubtedly the most popular, traveling along the bleak shores of the Skeleton Coast, with its haunted array of shipwrecks, or visiting the deserted ghost town of Kolmanskop, offer extraordinarily unique adventures. For the culturally inclined, visiting a traditional Himba village will always prove a memorable experience.

Experiences to be Savored when traveling in Namibia

The distinct experiences available in Namibia are largely desert-oriented, with elements of the rugged coast, ancient history, and the country's unique geology blended into them. This desert has far more to offer than initially meets the eye.

4x4 Excursion to Sandwich Harbor

Sandwich Harbor is a striking coastal lagoon south of Walvis Bay within the Namib-Naukluft National Park. The immense dunes running straight into the ocean create a most remarkable display, and the area was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2013. The activity is tidal dependent.

Ancient Rock Art at Twyfelfontein

Twyfelfontein is the site of ancient San rock engravings in the Kunene region of northwestern Namibia and another UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was used as a place of worship by the Khoikhoi and in the process of shamanist rituals. These ancient peoples created around 2 500 rock carvings.

The Fish River Canyon

In southern Namibia is the largest canyon on the continent. The ravine is around 160km (100 miles) in length, up to 27km wide, and 550m deep. The river is the longest interior river in Namibia. Watching the sunrise over the rifts of gneiss bedrock is captivating.

Namibia is a place of isolation and ancient wilderness, a great destination for safaris. From the high dunes of the Namib Desert on the country’s western Atlantic coast to the rocky hills of Damaraland and the Etosha National Park that lies at its northern borders, Namibia is home to astonishing scenery, history, and wildlife, most of which have remained the same for millennia.

The Namib is the oldest desert in the world, covered in thick sands roughly since roughly the same time India collided with the Asian continent. On the desert’s eastern flank is an ancient flower garden of Welwitschia's, a dinosaur among the flowering plants, which lives for thousands of years on nothing but the moist air blowing in from the ocean and the harsh desert soil. The Nama, a traditionally semi-nomadic and pastoralist people that inhabited what is northern South Africa and southern Namibia today, are part of the oldest extant culture group in the world - that of the Khoisan.

Among the mega-parks of Namibia are the Namib-Naukluft National Park with its towering dunes, the Etosha National Park, teeming with the big five and other wildlife, the remote northern extremities of the Namib known as the Skeleton Coast, and the /Ai-/Ais-Richtersveld Transfrontier Park along its border with South Africa where the Fish River Canyon is found.

Namibia offers a wealth of unique experiences waiting to be discovered on tour. Sossusvlei, an eerily preserved ancient forest in the heart of the desert, is a captivating glimpse into a bygone era and a paradise for photography enthusiasts. Kolmanskop, a ghost town slowly being reclaimed by the desert sands, is another hauntingly beautiful sight that speaks volumes about the passage of time.

Twyfelfontein is a rock art stop on the migratory routes of Southern Africa, exhibiting thousands of years of rock paintings and pre-historic culture that forms part of us all. Finally, there is Windhoek - the intercultural capital city of Namibia, home to many languages, foods, and peoples, with a keen literary history and a close connection to the surrounding wilderness.
