Namibia

Previously known as German South-West Africa Administered by South Africa until 1990, when Namibia got its Independence. Population: 2 100 000 Official language: English Other languages spoken: German, Afrikaans, Rukwangali, Silozi, Setswana, Damara / Nama, Herero, Oshiwambo Capital: Windhoek Namibia is another ‘success-story’ with good governance and a stable democracy.

Sossusvlei – highest sand dunes in the world

The Tsauchab river divides the desert

The Caprivi Strip – gateway to Okavango Delta Popular long road to Victoria Falls and the Chobe National Park

Etosha National Park

Luderitz and Kolmanskop on the coast German colonial history & architecture – ghost towns – desert horses – diamonds galore!

Damaraland and the Skeleton Coast

Swakopmund & Walvis Bay Salt roads – sand dunes – colonial architecture – marine life – quad biking & sandboarding

Faces of Namibia The Himba – the minority The Herero – the majority German military settlers of the last century Hardy farmers

Driving in Namibia Distances are huge and it takes time to travel through Namibia!

Be mindful of the road signs!

LODGES Most Lodges are located near the key attractions: The red Desert - Sossusvlei Luderitz and the Fish River Canyon The Skeleton Coast & Damaraland – white desert Etosha National Park The Kalahari Bushveld The Caprivi strip – “mini Okavango Delta”

ACCOMMODATION IN NAMIBIA Seasonal price differences far less than for South Africa and Botswana. Most popular time (highest price and difficult to find availability): Mid July – end October. Often too hot to visit desert / inland areas: December – end March Accommodation outside cities is limited and is usually in smaller Guesthouses

National Park accommodation is available – but is often unreliable Excellent private lodges are available close by – mid and upmarket

City Hotels Country Lodges Luxury Lodges Quality Guest Houses

Accommodation is scarce in Namibia – it is recommended to book early Environmental Lodges National Parks Tented Lodges …and Namibia’s many characteristic Guest farms with “home from home” hospitality

Wonderful people, rich history, amazing landscapes! Last century border crossing sign between British South Africa and German South West Africa
