Discover the Wonders of Namibia

The Central Plateau is dominated by Namibia’s capital, Windhoek. A number of speciality guest farms are found in the area some of which offer viewing of Namibia’s predators such as the cheetah, leopard and lion. The Waterberg Park was established as a sanctuary for the rare and endangered game species of the Caprivi. In other areas dinosaur footprints can be seen as well as the largest known meteorite in the world, Hoba Meteorite. Otjikoto and Guinas lakes are unique museums with rare mouth-breeding species of fish.

Foreword

Namibia is located in southern Africa and shares its borders with Angola in the north, Zambia in the northeast, Botswana in the east, South Africa in the southeast and south and the Atlantic Coast in the west (1,572 km). Namibia, an arid country of surprising contrasts, is home to two great deserts. Along its length, the vast shifting sand sea of the Namib sprawls inland along the Atlantic coastline.

Total Area: 824, 292 km2 (318,261 sq mi)

The capital: Windhoek, is a good place to see historical buildings which date back to German colonial rule but at the same time is a modern city. Namibia is a vast country dominated by the Namib Desert, an extensive inland plateau and stunning geological mountain ranges. From the lush, northern Caprivi Strip and the wildlife of Etosha National Park to the vast and unforgettable Namib Desert and the desolate Skeleton Coast; the destination has something to offer everyone.
