Discover Namibia
Namibia, located in southwestern Africa, is a country renowned for its vast desert landscapes, unique wildlife, and cultural diversity. Known as “the land of wide-open spaces,” Namibia is one of the least densely populated countries globally, making it a tranquil destination with striking natural beauty.
Geography
Namibia spans approximately 824,000 square kilometers, offering diverse environments that range from the towering sand dunes of the Namib Desert to the rugged mountains of the Central Plateau.
One of the country’s most iconic natural attractions is Sossusvlei, a salt and clay pan surrounded by some of the world’s tallest dunes.
The Skeleton Coast, known for its shipwrecks and foggy shores, contrasts with the lush green Caprivi Strip in the northeast.
Namibia’s diverse geography also includes the Etosha Pan, a massive salt pan that becomes a haven for wildlife after seasonal rains.
Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer.

Climate
Desert and Subtropical Conditions: Namibia has an arid to semi-arid climate, with large areas covered by deserts like the Namib and the Kalahari.
The coastal regions, cooled by the Benguela Current, remain dry and cool throughout the year, while the interior experiences hot summers and cooler winters.
Rain is scarce, particularly in the desert regions, but the north and northeast (Caprivi Strip) receive more rainfall, supporting a different ecosystem.
Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Heritage
History and Cultural Heritage: Namibia’s history is rich and ancient, with traces of early human settlement evident in rock engravings and paintings dating back tens of thousands of years.
Various indigenous groups, including the San and Himba, have long called the region home.
European colonization in the 19th century brought significant upheaval, with Namibia becoming a German colony.
After World War I, the country came under South African administration until achieving independence in 1990 after a long liberation struggle led by the South West Africa People’s Organization (SWAPO).
