Namibia

Namibia is one of the least densely populated countries on earth, and the reason to come is distance rather than density of wildlife. The Namib, which gives the country its name, is generally described as the oldest desert in the world. Etosha is built around a salt pan large enough to be seen from space, and in the dry months the game comes to the waterholes rather than you going to find it. Roads are good, the signposting is honest, and the driving distances are longer than the map makes them look.
