Namibia Getaways

Namibia is vast, even in African terms, and is full of extraordinary landscapes, as well as unique people, and in addition big vistas and lots of sunshine. Moreover there is a considerable amount of wildlife.

In addition, Namibia contains some of the greatest wonders of the natural world, all of which need time to visit, as they are a great distance from each other. For this reason, you should not be in a hurry during a visit to Namibia, as the country is too large and the gravel roads too long for a ‘been there, done that’ kind of trip.

Although it is far from anywhere, you should not miss the southern Namib Desert, which contains the most astonishing sand dunes in the world. These awesomely enormous Sossusvlei dunes rise to almost 1,000 ft, while changing colour with the arc of the sun from vivid orange to brooding purple.

Etosha National Park

Furthermore if guests wish to witness a one of a kind mirage, it will be in Etosha National Park in northern Namibia. In addition the glistening salt pans shimmer and shift to create a hazy horizon, which deceives your eyes. Furthermore herds of Oryx, well adjusted to heat and drought, wander across these desolate pans, while other animals survive on the surrounding grass and woodlands, which only come to life after the rains. At this time the hostile saline desert metamorphoses turn into a rich organic lagoon. Moreover, the lagoon is full of Flamingos and Pelicans, as well as myriad water birds.

Moreover, placid nomadic San Bushmen were the original inhabitants of Namibia and have left a legacy of rock art. While many became displaced by stronger tribes, some of whom remain extremely noticeable today by their distinctive style of dress. Herero women from the central north are unmistakable in long ankle to neck Victorian dresses – a legacy of missionaries – even though it is 38°C (100°F) in the shade! Moreover, in total contrast are the beautiful Himba of the north-west, who smear their bodies and entwine their dreadlocks with rich ochre mud.

Similarly to many African countries, Namibia was fought over many times and Germany gained control in 1890. Furthermore Britain pressured South Africa to invade in 1914 and Namibia came under South African administration until its independence in 1990.  These influences, therefore, explain the mixed traditions and races of this country. However, the natural wonders and Etosha’s animals provide guests with the most unforgettable experiences
