Namibia
One of the most popular travel destinations in Africa, there’s no place on Earth quite like Namibia. Boasting absolutely striking landscapes, rife with a variety of African wildlife and a multitude of flora and fauna, Namibia is a treasure trove of experiences waiting to be had.
Truly one of the most striking places in the world, Namibia is a land of contrasts. From blood-red desert plains and rolling dunes that disappear into the horizon, to stark, desolate salt pans and animal-packed national parks, Namibia is a country of ecological polarities that looks as if it is straight out of a science fiction film.
As most of the country is desert, with plenty of places inaccessible to man, a visit to Namibia feels truly remote, extremely private and very, very special. Despite the remote regions, there are exquisite accommodation options on offer, even though they tend to be a bit on the rustic side.
Depending on the choice of location in Namibia, travellers can enjoy visiting Etosha National Park, famed for its ginormous salt pan the size of Holland, or watching the sun rise over the glowing red dunes of Sossusvlei. Activities are in abundance, seeing desert safari game drives, walking safaris and sundowners in the dunes cater for the bulk of travellers, while adrenaline junkies can rip and roar across the dunes in quad bikes.
