Travel Guide To Namibia - The Most Surreal Country You Will Ever Visit

Namibia is truly a remarkable contrast. Holding a land surface that is four times of the size of Great Britain, it is one of the most thinly populated countries in Africa. Situated at the southern part of the continent of Africa it is a perfect gateway to combine the nature and solitude on one visit.

Namibia: Geographically stated to be a deserted land: have lot of contradictions. Most of its people live on agriculture: and in fishing this country holds quite a high rank in the global fishing industry. The majority of species of fish are supplied by the Namibia Fishing Industry which includes horse mackerel, hake, pilchard, oysters, mussels etc. Does not it seem to be incredible?

Just plan a Namibia Tour. The red colour sand dunes, a diversity of wildlife and endless horizons... Namibia's unique landscapes will make you feel like you landed on a different planet. The type of experience you would experience here has no match in any of the African nations.

Don’t think that, Namibia would harass you in game viewing. A visit to Etosha and the lush Caprivi Strip would prove your notion wrong. You can have the very same experience of encountering the games in its national parks as in Tanzania or Kenya. The towering dunes of Sossusvlei, the dramatic deserts of Damaraland, and the prolific wildlife of Etosha are a few of the Namibian treasure trove that attracts the visitors from world around.

FLIGHTS TO NAMIBIA

Namibia's main airport the Hosea Kutako International Airport (WDH), located 40km/25mi east of Windhoek, the capital receives a few of the international flights. Most of the visitors take a flight to South Africa and then fly to Namibia. The country gets daily flights from neighboring South Africa and Botswana.

In and around travel in Namibia is excellent. You can use the domestic flights to fly from one destination to other or because of excellent roads and safety in Namibia; many people choose the self-drive option.

Ready for the adventure? Here are 5 spectacular places to visit in Namibia

Kalahari Desert:

Do you know the Kalahari Desert receives too much rainfall - between 5 and 10 inches annually but its vast expanse of sand bed stretches to 360,000 square miles across Botswana, Namibia and South Africa making it the "Thirstland" as the early European settlers described. Don’t mistake it as a arid and plan land with no vegetation and trace of life. The dunes here are covered with a relative abundance of vegetation, including grass tussocks, shrubs, and deciduous trees that have made some of the places habitable for the animals and human beings. A visit to the Central Kalahari Game Reserve (The second largest protected area in the world), Khutse Game Reserve, and the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park would awe-struck every one.

Namib Desert:

Characterised by the red sand dunes that can grow to impressive heights Namibia is known for the great beauty of its deserts. It is magnificent to visit the southern side of Namibia to find some of the tallest and most spectacular dunes of the world, ranging in colour from pink to vivid orange. These dunes continue right to the edge of the Atlantic Ocean and the cold waters of the sea brushing against the dunes of the Namib Desert is one of the most surreal sights to find on your Namibia Tour.

Sossusvlei:

Characterised by the large red dunes Sossusvlei is possibly Namibia’s most spectacular and best-known attraction. It is a large, white, salt and clay pan and is a great destination all year round. The area hosts to some of the highest dunes in the world some reaching almost 400 meters. It is a wonderful place for the photographic enthusiastic.

Swakopmund:

For merrymakers and vacationers it is a huge draw. Its European-style colonial architecture would captivate to everyone visiting to this fascinating town of Namibia. The charming Swakopmund Tour retains a strong German flavour – from its cobbled streets and picturesque buildings to typical German restaurants and pubs. This is the right place to relax after a hectic desert travel.

Etosha National Park:

The central highlight of Etosha National Park is the salt pan and it is so large it can be seen from space. The malaria free park is accessible in a regular sedan car where you can have the guaranteed game viewing at the water holes. The wide open grasslands, a massive pan and the endemic animals and birds altogether make this park one of the most visited site in Namibia. An African Safari without Etosha is quite incomplete.
