"Immense desert landscapes with rugged, untampered features and unique areas in complete contrast to the main landmass. Ecosystems which successfully survive extreme conditions such as the freezing Atlantic Ocean sweeping in from the west to create the arid Skeleton Coast.
Landscapes include mountainous red sand dunes and the long finger of land pointing north-east to touch two famous African Rivers (the Zambezi and Chobe). Flamboyant, proud indigenous peoples enrich this country where ancient tribal traditions are strong.
A colonial German legacy still lingers in cities such as Swakopmund and Windhoek. Deserted mining settlements; rusting shipwrecks; the vast Fish River Canyon; the fabled Etosha Pans - all add adventure and atmosphere to the massive expanse of silent desert."
