Previously known as South West Africa, Namibia used to be a German settlement. Since World War I it came under the administration of South Africa, but the German heritage is still very evident in the architecture traditions and dress of the Herrero tribe’s womenfolk. This tribe still copy the dress of the 19th century German missionaries’ wives.

Namibia is a land of rich natural resources and overflows with diamonds, uranium, copper, silver, tin and other minerals.

Top 10 Places to Visit in Southern Africa

Wildlife of Etosha National Park

Etosha National Park is a 22 000-square kilometre area of wilderness set around a salt pan. It is one of Africa’s best safari destinations, especially in the dry winter months of May to October when the animals congregate around the waterholes. Simply wait for herds of zebra, springbok and elephants to arrive along with lion and the occasional rhino. The three camps inside the park have their own waterholes too. If you’re camping at one of them you don’t even need to go for game drives, just sit and watch the wildlife on your doorstep!

The landscapes of Namib Desert

The Namib Desert stretches across much of Namibia and provides some of the country’s most spectacular scenery. This desert is renowned for its giant red sanded dunes. Known to be some of the highest dunes in Africa, making it both the oldest and most beautiful desert in the world. You can climb the dunes at Sossusvlei and ride down on sand boards at Swakopmund.

The best way to take in the epic scenery of the Namib is by doing a hot air balloon ride at dawn, which allows you to watch the sunrise above a desert wonderland. Take in the scenery of Oceanic vistas of undulating terracotta sand dunes, set against rugged mountains. The Namib is also home to desert animals such as oryx and springbok

Layers of history at Kolmanskop

Located in the southwest corner of Namibia, Kolmanskop was once a prosperous diamond mining town. However it was abandoned a few decades ago and was thereafter reclaimed by the desert. Half of the ghost town is submerged in sand, while the other half crumbles away year by year. Walking around the ruins is one of Namibia’s most eerie and photogenic experiences.

The otherworldly beauty of Deadvlei

In the Namib-Naukluft National Park, Deadvlei is one of Namibia’s most visited places. Deadvlei was once covered in water and trees but when the water dried up, the trees died too leaving blackened skeletons among the cracked puzzle pieces of the dry pan. Surrounded by huge dunes, Deadvlei looks impossibly cinematic.

Hiking the Fish River Canyon

In southern Namibia lies the Fish River Canyon. Africa’s largest canyon at 500 meters deep and 27 kilometers wide. The best way to experience the canyon is to do the challenging Fish River Canyon hike, a seven-day and 90-kilometer long trek that covers half the length of the canyon. Taking in some spectacular landscapes and unbeatable camping spots under the stars.

The desert-adapted animals of Damaraland

Namibia is famous for its desert-adapted elephants and rhino, which can be found in the north west of the country. Damaraland is where they roam freely in this unofficially designated wilderness area of rugged mountains and cliffs rising up from the desert. Desert elephants cover a vast territory in search of water, so tracking them down is part of the experience and the thrill of finding them on game drives beats easy sightings of elephants on your usual safari. Desert rhinos also have vast ranges and aren’t easy to find. Luckily you can track them on foot with a guide from the ‘Save the Rhino organisation’ which has been working to protect these animals for the last 30 years.
