Namibia: Travel Areas

Namibia is a country of contrasts with several distinct and popular tourist regions.

The ghostly Skeleton Coast and the Namib Desert dominate Namibia's Atlantic coastline and the red sands of the Kalahari Desert spread into the south east of Namibia resulting in the fabulous dunes at Sossusvlei in the Namib-Naukluft Park.

The vast inland plateau is a mix of flat gravel plains and grasslands, rolling wooded hills and rugged mountains. In the far north of the country, you'll find the shimmering Etosha salt pans, and one of Namibia's flagship parks, the Etosha National Park, and beyond that, the wild far north of the Kaokoveld.

The capital city of Windhoek is a popular jumping-off point for those beginning a safari - or a welcome sight for weary travellers at the end of theirs.

The coastal resort town of Swakopmund is always busy with locals and foreign visitors alike and provides a taste of the desert as well as offering plenty of adventure activities.

Finally, nature-lovers will want to explore the Caprivi Strip - a recently opened-up region that is fast becoming a popular wildlife destination. It's a great combination with Etosha and beyond: add on Botswana - especially the Chobe National Park - and Victoria Falls.
