Namibia remained ‘undiscovered’ by travellers for a long time. Yet the country’s unparalleled flora and fauna, allied to some truly otherworldly landscapes, mean it’s fast becoming a must-visit destination – it’s consistently voted one of Wanderlust readers’ favourite countries in our annual Travel Awards.
But there are still national parks, game reserves and stretches of coastline waiting to be explored. Etosha National Park is deservedly world famous for its game population. But the Caprivi Strip has equally enticing encounters to offer in the likes of Mudumu and Mamili National Parks, while you can walk with the locals in Mundulea Nature Reserve.
The ‘dune sea’ of Sossusvlei is becoming one of the world’s most photographed natural wonders. And the immense Fish River Canyon offers captivating walking trails and hot-spring relaxation in stunning natural surrounds.
There’s also the opportunity to meet the traditional Bushmen, such as the Himba and Ju/’hoansi, who’ve called this land home for centuries. Your visit may even help preserve their place in this weird and wonderful land.
