WHY NAMIBIA
Namibia is a country of wide, open spaces, its stark beauty owed to the wonderful desert scenery and the incredibly harsh but breath-taking Skeleton Coast. The country is relatively new in the safari world, but there is an excellent range of hotels, camps and safari lodges. These locations are frequently far apart, and charter flights are often necessary . Namibia is recommended for travellers who have done some serious, in-depth game viewing elsewhere. The prime attraction is endless and captivating desert scenery, amazing colours and contrasts, spectacular sunsets, and the interaction between the desert and its resident wildlife, as well as remote communities of people such as the Himba.
WHEN TO VISIT NAMIBIA
With an average of 300 days of sunshine annually Namibia is one of the sunniest countries in the world. The climate is generally arid which means that the potential evaporation is higher than the precipitation, resulting in very low levels humidity. In general Namibia’s climate can be described as hot and dry, although substantial fluctuations during the seasons or even within one day are typical.
