Destination NAMIBIA

Namibia, officially the Republic of Namibia, is a country in southern Africa on the Atlantic coast, where stark beauty combine with riveting contradictions. Harsh sandy deserts and water, cold misty Atlantic beaches and shimmering horizon less interiors connected by a intricate web of long rolling dusty roads. A brief German colonial legacy clashes with timeless indigenous cultures like Himba, Damara, Nama and San.

The natural statistics are remarkable: the Kalahari Desert with perhaps the world's biggest sand dunes; the world's largest meteorite; the world's oldest desert; the world's largest underground lake; the world's largest surface area under diamonds; the world's largest quartz crystal; the world's largest population of black rhinoceros'; and seven endemic bird species. Ninety percent of the population lives on ten percent of the land which means that most of the country is empty of people.

Big open empty and dramatic pastel coloured vistas beckon in Namibia.
