Browsing: Namibia
Boundless savannahs, steppes, bushland, deserts, sand dunes, strange rock formations – and an extraordinarily rich fauna – Namibia is fascinating in lots of ways.
The country is located on Africa’s southwestern coast and is South Africa’s northern neighbor. Namibia is often called the “Land of Red Silence” because of the red sand dunes of the silent Namib Desert.
Red is often also the color of the sky at sunset time.
And it is quiet when you are all alone in nature, the lone human beings in a desert expanse. With just over 2.2 million inhabitants on almost 330,000 square miles, Namibia is one of the least densely populated countries in the world.
If you are looking for peace and quiet and appreciate nature, magnificent landscapes and wildlife, Namibia will captivate you from the first moment. Count on it!
In the following blog articles you will find our recommended route and travel tips for an unforgettable Namibia round trip: From NamibRand, Sossusvlei and Deadvlei to Damaraland and Etosha National Park.
Enjoy!
