About Namibia
Sweeping sand dunes set ablaze with fiery sunsets and endless savannah plains, Namibia is
beyond the imagination. Its varied landscapes are home to rugged mountains, tranquil waterways and the world's
oldest desert. In one of the planet’s least densely populated countries, the Big Five have miles of open space to roam.
Our Travellers Guide
BeachesThe historical town of Swakopmund, surrounded by desert and sea, is Namibia's main holiday resort. From the nearby coastal town of Walvis Bay, marine cruises offer sightings of dolphins, seals and turtles.
SportsBird watching is one of the country's biggest attractions, with a wealth of species to spot. The National West Coast Recreation Area has dunes perfect for sandboarding and sand-skiing and mountaineering is popular in the Central Plateau.
Local tastesNamibia's German settlers influenced a love for all things culinary. The classic safari meal is Braai, meaning barbecue, accompanied with a locally brewed beer; tombo.
Best buysThe Windhoek Street Market is great for browsing. Take home hand carved woodwork, jewellery, rugs and locally produced leather. Good buys include diamonds and semi-precious stones, including tanzanite, and liqueur chocolates.
Live the ExperienceAside from game reserves and desert exploring, Namibia has many hidden secrets. Explore the historic buildings of the capital city, Windhoek.
