Namibia - in the south-west of Africa between the Orange river in the south and the Kunene river in the north - is an arid, rough land, a different world, but still inviting, strangely familiar and easy to travel.
Namibia is a photographer's dreamland, a land of contrasts and clear colours. It is not the right place for those, who like busy beaches and have fun in crowds. But if you love nature, stillness, grandiose landscapes, desert and expanse, you will become attached to Namibia for live. It is one of the most scarcely populated countries on earth.
The wind-whipped coast with innumerable shipwrecks stretches all along the hostile Namib desert. The orange-red dunefields are up to 150 kilometres wide with the mightiest dunes being up to 300 metres high. It is the oldest desert of the earth with a unique flora and fauna.
Millions of years ago the Orange river washed diamonds into the sea. Currents, waves and the wind transported them into the sand dunes of the Namib, thus creating a source of natural wealth for Namibia.
Namibia is Africa, with its friendly, natural people, with endless thorn savannah, Mopane bushland, Makalani palms and Baobabs, with lions and elephants, zebras and giraffes, an animal world as rich in species as no other on earth. It is being protected in the huge Etosha National Park and many other game and nature reserves.
Namibia is an adventure, but you don't have to be an adventurer to experience this country. A well-maintained road network makes travelling a pleasure. At the arrival in the cosy capital of Windhoek the visitor can already sense that Namibia is not only Africa.
European culture is also visible. Impressive buildings in the Wilhelmian style bear witness to the German colonial times. Many shops have German owners and you meet German speaking Namibians everywhere.
