This is a stunning semi-desert area of beautiful landscapes, with characteristic table top hills.

Highlights of the area include the Brandberg, Namibia’s highest mountain which is also home to the ‘White Lady’ Bushman Painting.

You’ll also find Twyfelfontein, a rocky outcrop with some of the best examples of bushman paintings and engravings in Southern Africa.

Then there is Spitzkoppe, a large dramatic group of rocky outcrops, sacred to the San people.

Interesting rock formations and the remains of prehistoric volcanic action can also be seen in the Organ Pipes, Burnt Mountain, Doros Crater and the Petrified Forest.

Etosha National Park, Namibia

The wildlife is varied and plentiful, including lion, giraffe, elephant, leopard and rhino, and over 330 bird species.

The landscapes of Etosha makes it a unique environment with some thorn and Mopane trees, grasslands, and a large salt pan.

You will never tire of driving into the park to view the animals, or sitting quietly by the camp spot lit waterholes as rhino, lion and other animals come to drink after dark.

It is situated in the northwest of the country and is easily accessible by road.

Swakopmund, Namibia

This pleasant coastal town of palm lined streets, seaside promenade and some good beaches also offers many wildlife and adventure activities.
