COUNTRY HIGHLIGHTS
Along the west coast of Southern Africa is Namibia, one of the continent's most hauntingly beautiful countries with wide open spaces, deserts, wildlife and friendly people. The great diversity of habitat - including the Namibian Desert, the desolate Skeleton Coast and the game rich plains of Etosha Pan - is what lures many travelers to this beautiful land, famous also for its wealth of minerals and natural resources and the charming influence of German settlers.
Damaraland is a land of stark desert beauty. Early morning mists, generated by the clash between the icy Atlantic Ocean and the warm desert air of the Skeleton Coast, drift inland along the canyons, providing sustenance to the flora and fauna of the region. Rare succulent plants abound in this harsh countryside.
Etosha National Park is one of the world’s most famous game sanctuaries. The huge, salty bowl which forms the vast central area of the park is only occasionally filled with water, so game concentrates in the grasslands and bush which encircle the reserve. Here on the perimeter, are underground springs feeding smaller pans, which serves as the magnet which has drawn such an abundance of game to the area.
Skeleton Coast is one of the most inhospitable but hauntingly beautiful places on the planet: desolate and uninhabited. It has everything, from roaring sand dunes, windswept plains, towering canyons and saltpans to seal colonies and shipwrecks. |
