Sparsely populated Namibia is a country of astonishing contrasts with spectacular scenery, including the towering red Sossusvlei sand dunes, the desolate Skeleton Coast along the Atlantic Ocean, surreal desert landscapes and some of the best stargazing. Namibia is a relatively young country in South West Africa, having been a German colony prior to being administered by South Africa from 1919 to gaining independence in 1990. The country retains its strong German links and the town of Swakopmund on the Atlantic coast resembles a northern German seaside town.
Namibia boasts some of the world’s largest natural wonders within its borders. Among them are the etchings at Twyfelfontein, the largest collection of rock art in Africa, Fish River Canyon, the largest canyon on the continent and Namib Naukluft National Park, the largest protected reserve in Africa. Etosha National Park, the largest national park, has its own mini wildebeest migration while the red Sossusvlei Dunes in the south are a must to explore. The more adventurous traveller should consider a flying aircraft expedition along the desolate Skeleton coast. The country has an extensive network of airstrips and Wildlife Safari can custom design a private flying safari to explore the vast landscapes.
