Namibia is Africa at its most starkly beautiful. Vast sand dunes, endless deserts and the shipwreck-strewn Skeleton Coast make for jaw-dropping landscapes and velvety night skies. You can sleep under the stars or in superb lodges, while in the game parks you can track rhino, leopard and cheetah. Namibia is clean and safe and if you fly from the UK there’s no jetlag.

If you fancy a private 4×4 safari, hot-air ballooning over the desert or tracking rhino on foot, try Namibia. You can fly over the Skeleton Coast, view cheetah, wild dog and leopard, take a flying safari and sleep under the stars in temporary wilderness camps.
Namibia is a unique and beautiful country with endless, seemingly deserted landscapes and wide horizons. It is a feast of colour - from the red and orange sand dunes through the white saltpans of Etosha to the deep blue Atlantic Ocean.
Almost the entire country is covered in desert sands – Kalahari or Namib - and there is a stark beauty and vibrancy to Namibia which sets it apart from the rest of Africa. Originally inhabited by Bushmen, Namibia has been colonised by the British, Dutch and Germans and gained independence from South Africa just 19 years ago; all that turbulent history has left a fascinating heritage.
The highlights include Fish River Canyon, the second largest canyon in Africa, Etosha National Park with its wonderful wildlife, Sossusvlei in the Namib-Naukluft National Park which is home to the highest sand dunes in the world, the Skeleton Coast - resting place of many shipwrecks - and Damaraland which is home to the desert black rhino and desert elephant.
