Namibia Iconic Destinations

Endless horizons, clear skies and a population density that ranks among the lowest in the world all combine to give you a true sense of freedom. Whether your interest is in wildlife, landscape, adventure, people or culture, you will be enthralled by Namibia. In Namibia, the incredible landscapes are more than just a backdrop for the exceptional wildlife: they’re one of the main reasons for coming here. Etosha National Park is one of Africa’s finest wildlife parks, and the country’s private game reserves are also outstanding. Regions like Damaraland, the Skeleton Coast and Namib-Naukluft National Park combine intriguing wildlife possibilities with dramatic and wildly beautiful terrain.

A Namibia safari offers visitors some of the world's finest wildlife destinations as well as some of the most remote places on our planet. Popular safari parks and areas include Etosha National Park, Sossusvlei, Damaraland, Skeleton Coast Park , the Kunene Region as well as the Fish River Canyon. A place that seems harsh, dry and lifeless, Namibia offers approximately 4000 species of plants, 650 bird species and 80 mammal species, including the endangered black rhino, and unique desert adapted elephants and lions.

 

Namibia is known as the land of contrasts; the lively seaside town of Swakopmund is famous for its thrilling desert skydiving, and more romantic Hot Air Balloon rides over the spectacular sand dunes. Damaraland offers the ultimate in peace and tranquillity; an area known for its warm and friendly people, as well as fascinating rock formations and bushman paintings. Namibia is a vast and open country, mostly arid and not highly populated. Its natural beauty is astounding, running from the stunning Namib Desert in the south through to the world-famous Etosha National Park in the north.

It is a country of contrasts, perhaps most famous for its undulating, burnt orange sand dunes that riple alongside the mysterious Skeleton Coast. Africa's largest game park, the Namib-Naukluft Park, is a must-see with its magnificent sea of rolling red dunes at Sossusvlei. The Caprivi Strip is a magical oasis of waterways and wildlife, while Etosha National Park is the home of vast, white salt pans. From luxury desert lodges to adventure-filled self drive safaris, Namibia offers a combination of wildlife and cultural richness, and rolling landscapes that seemingly go on without end.
