Namibia – Endless HorizonsClimb the highest sand dunes in the world. De-scend to the floor of the deepest canyon in Af-rica. Immerse yourself in the past at one of the Africa‘s richest rock art sites, and watch wildlife shimmer against one of the most spectacular pans on earth. Explore the oldest, driest desert in the world and take time to listen to the silen-ce and to your soul.

The ruggedness of the Namibian landscape has obviously done nothing to deter both flora and fauna from adapting and thriving. Here, the very act of survival can sometimes be an art. The she-ar abundance and variety of wildlife of all sizes is staggering.

Namibia is the only country in the world where large numbers of rare and endangered wildlife are translocated from national parks to open communal land. This commitment to protecting wildlife is especially important given the coun-try‘s remarkable diversity of species and high level of endemism.

Also, Namibia is home to vibrant cities where people are excited about the future, while remai-ning deeply connected to their rich, cultural past. A stable, democratic government, infrastructure that allows guests to move confidently off the beaten path and endless horizons that beckon you to explore define this country and its people.This is Namibia, where you are sure to find ad-venture, and you may just find yourself.

In Namibia you drive on the left hand side. Due to the low inci-dence of traffic and the excellent signposting it is quite easy to find your way around. However, be on the alert for wild animals crossing the roads and drive slowly and carefully on the gravel roads that are an unknown factor to European drivers. As a visi-tor you will need an international driving license.
