Namibia is bordered by Angola and Zambia in the north, Botswana in the east and South Africa in the southeast. The ocean in the west is the South Atlantic Ocean.

Namibia's name is derived from the Namib Desert, which is the oldest and most arid desert region in the world. Attractions include an unusual variety of desert-adapted animals and plants such as the living fossil plant, Welwitschia mirabilis. The desert stretches for miles along Namibia’s Atlantic coastline.

The northern part of the Namib is called the Skeleton Coast, a fitting name when you see the choppy Atlantic waters with shipwrecks on the beaches and picture the sailors washed ashore with nowhere to go but into the harsh un-survivable desert.

The most spectacular part of the southern Namib is the Sossusvlei Dunes which are a photographer’s delight.

Namibia is an amazing country with something to offer everyone. The main attractions in Namibia are: Etosha National Park, Sossusvlei & The Namib Naukluft Park, Skeleton Coast, Swakopmund, the Caprivi Strip and the Fish River Canyon.
