Namibia

Namibia is one of the driest countries in Africa and is dominated by two great deserts, the Namib in the west and the Kalahari in the east—together they create some of the world’s most striking arid landscapes. Five perennial rivers define much of the national boundary: the Orange River separates Namibia from South Africa; the Kunene marks the northern frontier with Angola; and the Zambezi, Kavango (Okavango), Kwando–Linyanti and Chobe rivers form natural borders with Botswana, Zimbabwe and Zambia.

Wildlife viewing is excellent year-round in Etosha National Park and in the Caprivi (Zambezi) Region, but the prime season runs from May to November when dry conditions draw animals to permanent water sources. Beyond Etosha, the country offers a broad array of destinations—Swakopmund, Walvis Bay, Damaraland, the Chobe and Kwando riverfronts and Katima Mulilo—each supported by a well-developed network of lodges and camps.

Namibia is ideally suited to self-drive exploration. Reliable 4×4 rentals allow travellers to design bespoke itineraries, while a choice of set-departure and scheduled tours provides an alternative for those who prefer an organised programme.

Etosha National Park

Etosha National Park is Namibia’s premier wildlife destination, centered around the vast Etosha Pan—an ancient salt flat visible from space. Home to elephants, lions, rhinos, giraffes, and hundreds of bird species, it offers exceptional game viewing around waterholes. Self-drives, guided safaris, and campsites make Etosha ideal for both independent and luxury travellers.

Kalahari Namibia

The Kalahari in Namibia is a semi-arid savanna of red sand dunes, golden grasses, and camelthorn trees stretching across the country’s eastern interior. Unlike true deserts, it supports diverse wildlife, including springbok, oryx, meerkats, and cheetahs. Visitors can enjoy guided nature drives, bush walks, stargazing, and cultural encounters with San (Bushman) communities.
