Namibia is a home of vast rocky canyons, scorched deserts and the highest sand dunes in the world in Namib National Park. Namibia wildlife is also extremely diverse and rivals those of Botswana and Kenya where majority of travellers go for a safari experience. Its wild horses roaming freely through the Namib, close to legendary diamond mining town of Luderiz, while the rare desert elephants make regular appearances in the humid Northern planes.
The name Namibia means “ a land of open spaces” and if, like the author of this post, you live in a big city and often long for the big open skies then this is the place to head to.
The most famous attraction of Namibia include the giant red sand dunes of Sossusvlei National Park, the mysterious Fish River Canyon, the numerous ship wrecks and the chilling fogs covering the Skeleton coast and the desolate Namib desert.
Even more renowned and deservedly so is the lush and exotic Etosha National Park, home to a wide variety of wildlife, which you can watch congregating around one of the crate-like waterholes.
To make it even better Namibia is a photographer’s dream. The striking colours of the desert the icy blue of the ocean and wide deep blue skies provide an amazing backdrop for anything that you want to put in your picture.
