Safari travel guide to Namibia. Tours, lodges, info.

Namibia is a unique desert safari destination - from the great dunes of the Namib desert, through the salt pans of Etosha and along the haunting silence of the Skeleton Coast.

Along the west coast of Southern Africa is the hauntingly beautiful country of Namibia - a place of wide open spaces, deserts, wildlife, big skies and friendly people.

The great diversity of habitat - including the Namib Desert, the desolate Skeleton Coast and the game rich plains of Etosha Pan - lure travelers on unique Namibia safari adventures, and the country is an ideal contrast destination to Botswana or South Africa.

This is where some of the earth's most mystical and vivid sunsets occur and where there is the desert's total silence, making Namibia one of life's most memorable discoveries.

Along the Atlantic coastline, the traveler enters the barren, desolate and aptly named Skeleton Coast. Inland again is the strangely beautiful area of Damaraland, and northwards lies Namibia's renowned Etosha Pan National Park.

Also of significant beauty is the narrow strip of Namibian soil wedged between Angola and Botswana, known as the Caprivi Strip, which winds its way along the Kunene River.

Where the Caprivi ends in the east, the traveler is within a stone's throw of the mighty Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe and on the doorstep of the Okavango Delta in Botswana.

Wedged between two great deserts - the Kalahari Desert in the east and the Namib in the west - the country is well worth a visit to explore all its natural grandeur, or to include a portion of it with a wildlife safari in Botswana or South Africa.
