It is hard to believe that in this harsh and arid environment fauna and flora can be found nowhere else on earth but here.
Namibia is known for its astonishing contrasts, magnificent sand dunes and beautiful coastline offering a haven for photographers. The country is named after the Namib Desert which is also the oldest desert on our planet situated alongside the Atlantic coastline.

Namibia is home to the game rich Etosha National Park, one of the finest wildlife sanctuaries in Africa promising fantastic game viewing opportunities.
One of Namibia’s most extraordinary features is the Sossusvlei sand dunes located in the Namib Naukluft Park in the Namib Desert; one of the largest national parks in Africa. Some believe these dunes to be the highest in the world. A hot air balloon ride over these magnificent sand dunes has been voted by many tourists as one of the top adventure activities to do in Africa.
