Namibia Sights, Sounds And Experiences

Namibia abounds with places of interest, wide open spaces and new experiences at every turn.

You’ll never get bored in Namibia. This vast, never-ending country has SO much to offer. Following are some of the highlights:

SKELETON COAST

The haunting beauty of the northern shoreline of Namibia is not to be missed. Aptly named the Skeleton Coast due to many a stranded ship and forlorn castaway, the cold Benguela Current casts a foggy shadow over the landscape. Although seemingly endless and hostile, the park hosts incredibly adapted fauna and flora who flourish here. With inland fresh water springs and a rich geology, the Skeleton Coast hides an unbelievable collection of natural wealth.

TWYFELFONTEIN

As Namibia’s only UNESCO World Heritage Site, Twyfelfontein is an ancient art exhibition, with the San people as main contributors. Beautifully intricate engravings and paintings can be viewed as well as the rich history of their designers. With over 2,000 rock paintings and engravings estimated at an age of 6,000 years, the area is truly captivating.

CAPRIVI WETLANDS

The wet and lushly green Caprivi Strip is a stark contrast to the rest of Namibia. With curving river systems, wetlands and an abundance of wildlife and bird species, the Caprivi also features cultural richness. As a gateway to the rest of Africa it connects four African countries across flood plains with rivers being the only borders, a true wildlife paradise.

FISH RIVER CANYON

The Fish River Canyon dissects the southern plains of Namibia and is considered by many to be the second largest canyon in the world. With challenging hiking trails, incredible scenery and fascinating geology it is a grand sight indeed. A wealth of adapted wildlife and flora species eke out an existence between its folds with picturesque lodges dotting its ridges.
