NAMIBIA
From the arid landscapes of the Namib and Kalahari deserts, to the lush scenes of the Kavango and
Caprivi’s woodlands and forests, to the coastal seascapes created by the Atlantic Ocean, Namibia’s
widely contrasting geography imitates a collection of countries in one. With a strong focus on ecological
and wildlife conservation, Namibia’s host of national parks, forests and nature and game reserves, are
acutely protected and immaculately preserved, including the largest population of free-roaming black
rhinos and cheetahs, a growing population of lions and an elephant population that has more than
doubled in size in just over ten years. Rife with a variety of African wildlife, a multitude of flora and
fauna, and incredibly diverse natural beauty, Namibia is one of the most popular travel destinations in
Africa.
The following itinerary is an example of one of the many tours available to tour in Nambia. Please
