Desert, coast and Etosha

Things to do in Namibia

Namibia pairs the oldest desert on earth with a cold Atlantic coastline and the waterholes of Etosha, on roads built for self-drive and small-group touring.

Most Namibia itineraries run Sossusvlei for the dunes, Swakopmund for the coast, Damaraland for desert-adapted elephant and rock art, and Etosha for classic game viewing.
