Destination of the Month  -  Namibia
 as featured on TV - Channel M
 

The haunting landscapes of the Skeleton Coast and the giant dunes of the Sossusvlei, the animal wonderland of Etosha and the awe-inspiring Fish River Canyon are some of the memories a visitor to Namibia will treasure for life. Sometimes called Africa's Gem, Namibia boasts prolific wildlife, yet the abiding impression will be the vast landscapes of deserts and plains stretching 3Rondawelsseemingly into infinity.

 
Namibia has rich ethnic diversity, perhaps most visible in the dramatic dress styles of groups such as the Herero and the Himba peoples. This is also one of the last refuges of the San (Bushmen) who still practice their hunter/gatherer way of life in remote areas.

The magnificent and varied National Parks and game reserves, including the famed Etosha, are rich with wildlife and birdlife.

 

The world's highest dunes are found in haunting scenery inspiring somber reflection. Pre-historic rock art, the ancient fossil plant, Welwitschia mirabilis and fossilized dinosaur footprints are preserved in the ancient, rocky mountain ranges. Click here for more details
