Backpacker
Ideal destination
Namibia is a southern African country of haunting desert beauty, where the orange dunes of Sossusvlei, the vast Etosha salt pan, the Skeleton Coast, and the ancient Himba culture of the northwest combine to create one of the most visually dramatic landscapes on earth. The country is sparsely populated, well-organised, and safe for independent travel by 4x4. Those who love landscape, wildlife, and a sense of being genuinely far from the crowd will find it deeply satisfying.
