Namibia - where you'll meet friendly people who are as open as the majestic vistas of this spectacular country. Here less than two million residents inhabit a country about half the size of Alaska; that is 1 person for every 50km². Namibian people are as varied as the landscape, but they share an exceptionally valuable quality – their hospitality.

Dotted with ghost towns and shipwrecks, Namibia features one of the most characterful, yet desolate coastlines in the world. The sweeping dunes of The Namib Desert spread inland, where the escarpment of a north-south plateau slopes away to the east and north and into the vast interior sand basin of The Kalahari. In the far northwest, the Kaokoland Mountains hug the coastline, while further inland lies The Etosha Pan - a large endorheic salt lake surrounded by grasslands and bushveld which support an abundant variety of wildlife. The Etosha National Park is one of the finest game reserves in Africa, remaining to a large extent, free of human influence.
