Mesmerising scenery and remarkable wildlife – What we love about Namibia.
Still nursing the wounds of a 25-year struggle for Independence, Namibia is indelibly shaped by colonialism. A new country in an ancient landscape, it’s just starting to take tourism in its stride. A stride that’s sometimes a stumble as it seeks to carve out a livelihood for its 2.5 million inhabitants while conserving its other long-suffering residents: the remarkable wildlife.
This makes Namibia an intriguing destination. One of mesmerising landscapes, of expansive horizons, of delightfully awkward service, unkempt roads and German food. A country whose identity is still in the making, it is one of the most beautiful places we have ever visited. Participating in their journey is a travel experience you won’t easily forget.
