Namibia
is situated along Africa's most inhospitable coastline to the northwest of the Republic of South Africa. Three times larger than Germany, the total population numbers 1.5 million, thus making Namibia an ideal destination for those looking for wide open spaces. It takes its name from the 130 million year old Namib Desert which uniquely harbors elephant, rhino, lion and giraffe. One of the earliest human inhabitants of Namibia were San (Bushman), a nomadic people able to adapt to this harsh land.Namibia is a land of contrasts....towering sand dunes, shimmering plains, relentless sunshine, mountains, gorges, valleys and some of Africa's most interested and varied wildlife and national parks. From the abundant game and bird life to the diverse fish and seal population on the coast, Namibia offers something for everyone. |
