Country Information
Namibia
Namibia is a dry country, sandwiched between two deserts, the Namib and the Kalahari. Its stark beauty portrayed by red dunes, grassy plains, rocky mountains, canyons and Acacia savannas attract the true nature lover. The initially perceived starkness will soon reveal a multitude of life to those who look more carefully. In summer the sun-scorched earth comes to life when rejuvenated by the long awaited rains. This is the time when every raindrop is cherished by plants, animals and people alike. The people who make this harsh land their home, value it above all, this is Namibia.
A sense of peace and serenity is reached under the open and vast expanses of the landscapes of Namibia. We invite you to free your soul in the deafening silence of the desert where tranquility is all encompassing. Enjoy the blue skies over the wide open plains and savannas. Here you can really get away from it all, and we can take you there. |
