Namibia is a land of contrasts and compelling beauty – from breathtaking vast desert landscapes in the south to the lush riverine beauty of the north. The name Namibia is derived from the Namib Desert which is said to be the oldest in the world and stretches along the western coastline, boasting some of the most spectacular dunes in the world.

Visitors are engulfed by a sheer sense of freedom generated by wide and breathtaking horizons, the bluest of skies and a population density which ranks among the lowest in the world. Respectively, Namibia’s capital Windhoek has been voted many-a-time as the cleanest city on the continent.

Particular attractions include the Etosha National Park, one of the largest game reserves in Africa which is home to a variety of animals and birds, including several endangered species; the Namib-Naukluft Park, a vast wilderness and the fourth largest nature conservation area in the world; the Skeleton Coast National Park; and the Fish River Canyon, the world’s largest after the Grand Canyon.

The Namibia Tourism Board (NTB) controls the grading and standards of accommodation establishments, safari companies and products offered by tour operators.
