Namibia

A wilderness country in southwestern Africa, with red dunes, the Skeleton Coast and Etosha's wildlife all astonishing.

Namibia lies in southwestern Africa, bordered by the Atlantic to the west, with the Namib Desert stretching along the coast. The giant red dunes of Sossusvlei and Deadvlei, wildlife viewing at the waterholes of Etosha National Park, the German-flavoured town and desert sports of Swakopmund, hiking in Fish River Canyon, the shipwrecks and seals of the Skeleton Coast, and the rock engravings of Twyfelfontein in Damaraland are all highlights. The climate is dry, and the dry season (about May to October) is the best time for wildlife viewing. Windhoek International Airport is the main gateway, and self-driving is very common.
