Namibia (overview)
- Totally unlike all other “safari” countries: vast vistas, few people, amazing colours, light. Jaw-dropping wilderness scenes.
- Sossusvlei dunes, Namib desert, Damaraland ruggedness, Etosha game, wild skeleton coast, remote Serra Cafema, fish river canyon.
- Observing contrasting landscapes from the air is a safari in itself and a wonderful way to travel around this huge country. Roads are very good, distances large. Self drive easy. With the exception of Etosha, less big game than other countries.
- Luxury remote lodges, plethora of inexpensive guest houses. Some walking, quad biking, game drives, dune climbing. Skeleton coast safaris are one of the great African adventures.
- Visit all year but hot October-February.
- Combine with Botswana, South Africa but enough to do as a stand-alone destination.
