Namibia Travel Guide

Namibia Overview

Namibia is a huge but sparsely populated country, situated in southwestern Africa. It shares its borders with South Africa, Botswana, Angola, Zambia and the Atlantic Ocean. Windhoek, being the capital and biggest city in Namibia, is the main entrance point for people flying into the country.

Namibia boasts remarkable natural attractions such as the Fish River Canyon, one of the worlds largest Canyons, and the Namib desert, with its high dunes and awe inspiring sense of space. Etosha National Park is probably Namibia's most famous national park located around the Etosha Pan, a large endorheic salt pan. Namibia’s best known geographical feature however remains the Kalahari Desert. Shared with South Africa and Botswana, it has a variety of localized environments ranging from hyper-arid sandy desert, to areas that seem to defy the common definition of desert.
