about Namibia
This dreamy little country is so visually striking it leaves you breathless. The vast Namib Desert is an unforgiving panorama of haunting beauty and its red sands sing under the bluest of skies.
The remains of ill-fated ships line the lonely southwestern coastline, their bare metal bones protruding from the sand. Yet there’s plenty of life in the animal-abundant Etosha National Park and the Kalahari. Windhoek, the capital, and the surf town Swakopmund thrive with people from all walks of life.
