Exploring Namibia

Namib

Namibia, a country in southwest Africa, is distinguished by the Namib Desert along its Atlantic Ocean coast. The country is home to diverse wildlife, including a significant cheetah population. The capital, Windhoek, and coastal town Swakopmund contain German colonial-era buildings such as Windhoek’s Christus Kirche, built in 1907. In the north, Etosha National Park’s salt pan draws game including rhinos and giraffes.

Coastal Adventures

Quite a variety and diving is a challenge but the following is available in Namibia.

• Catamaran
• Dolphin cruises
• Cano, Kayaking & Rafting
• Diving (quite a challenge)
• Wind & kite surfing
• Quad Biking
• Scenic Flights

Namibian Cultures

The Kavango, Herero, Damara, Nama, Caprivian, San, Baster, and Tswana people, German and Afrikaans people

Namibia is truly unique, influenced by various cultures during colonization and now reborn from the shadows of Apartheid in 1990. What has emerged is a true sense of unity in diversity, the coming together of at least 11 major ethnic groups, each celebrating their past while working together toward the future.

Scenery

If seeing wildlife is your main objective, the best time to visit all parks, especially Etosha, is in the Dry season from May to October. Namibia is a scenic country and can be visited throughout the year. The colors will be most vibrant during and after the Wet season. October to February can be unpleasantly hot.

The Fish River Canyon is an amazing place but so is the rest of the scenery in Namibia. Breath-taking sunrises, sunsets and nature around you so make sure you have a good camera.
