If there were a perfect introduction to Africa travel, a Namibia trip would be it.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As one of the safest, easiest to travel and somewhat least intimidating places on the continent, Namibia envelops travellers new to Africa with its nature-filled wilderness, vast and impressive landscapes and friendly, welcoming community.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

That\u2019s not to say that it\u2019s not worthy of multiple visits; the country\u2019s giant red dunes, fascinating Skeleton Coast, incredible wildlife viewing, endless starry skies and seriously good food, to name a few, will have you wanting to return again and again. If it is your first time, what a truly wonderful place to start.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Occupying the east is the world\u2019s oldest desert and country\u2019s namesake, the Namib, the Skeleton Coast that\u2019s scattered with ancient marine carcasses and the stirring yet stunning dead tree valleys of Sossusvlei. Inland, the spine of glorious mountains leads on down to the mind-blowing Fish River Canyon. It certainly is a beauty that few African countries can match.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What\u2019s more, the captivating natural beauty and remote wilderness of this country only enhance the spectacular daily scenes you\u2019ll encounter: namely, the wildlife.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It\u2019s no surprise that Namibia is one of Africa\u2019s best places to view game. Whether that\u2019s around the watering holes of Etosha National Park, spotting desert-adapted elephants or free-ranging rhinos in Damaraland or exploring one of the many private game reserves, it\u2019s all here.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Somewhat less beautiful but equally as important to Namibia travel is its human history. Through museums, architecture and deserted desert towns, you\u2019ll learn the complicated story of Namibia\u2019s colonisation and oppression. Venture deeper and you\u2019ll find that the rocks tell the story from before European interference. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Twyfeltontein\u2019s rock paintings and engravings shed light on Southern Africa\u2019s first people, the San, and their story.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In between the incredible roads to drive, some of the most incredible stargazing you\u2019ll ever do and everything mentioned above, Namibia\u2019s otherworldly appeal is tenfold. Read on to open your eyes and skies, to what\u2019s to come on a Namibia tour.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
