Namibia Tourist Information Resource
A selection of useful websites relating to Namibia.
Wedged in between Angola, Botswana and South Africa and the Atlantic Ocean, Namibia is hauntingly empty, with only two million people calling this place home. Namibia contains one of the oldest deserts in the world, the Namib Naukluft, the largest canyon, Fish River Canyon, second only to the Grand Canyon, and is also home to the world’s highest dunes – at Sossusvlei. It also contains Africa’s first National Park, at Etosha,
North of the coastal town of Swakopmund are the golden dunes of the Skeleton Coast, home to an immense seal colony, flocks of flamingos and skeletal shipwrecks -- the strong currents, treacherous fog and shifting underwater sandbanks having marooned many early explorers. Most of these relics are strewn along the misty, unending stretch of coast – a dramatic sight and one which provides spectacular photography.
Game concentrations are high in both Etosha and Caprivi, with Namibia possessing an estimated 40% of Africa’s entire cheetah population. Add to this the desert elephant and black rhino, bushmen and quad-biking, giving a wide range of possible experiences. The Caprivi strip itself reaches almost to Victoria Falls (best visited from the Zambian side), and many people choose to experience a two centre holiday, combining the variety of Namibia with the more traditional African bush experience provided by Zambia, linking these via a trip to the Falls themselves.
