From mysterious coastlines to apricot dunes and salt-covered national parks, this is a place that’s all about scenery. Yes, there is wildlife to be spotted, and tracking desert-adapted elephants and rhino is an unforgettable experience, but most people visit for the views, the open space, and the feeling of being one, teeny tiny person in one epic landscape.
From floating across the lunar landscapes in a hot air balloon to tracking desert-adapted elephants on foot, horse riding, e-biking and gazing at crystal-bright starry skies, emptiness certainly doesn’t translate to “nothing to do” in Namibia. But remember: a trip here is all about giving the landscape time to unfold and reveal itself. This is desert time, after all.
The entire country of Namibia is the size of Texas but is one of the most sparsely-populated in the world.
Wildlife is not the star of the show, but there are treasures to be found: desert-adapted elephants digging for water in dry river beds; solitary oryx; majestic giraffe; and inspiring populations of black rhino.
