Unique AttractionsNamibia is the soul of Africa, characterised by vast open spaces, breathtaking scenery and great contrasts - ocean, dunes, mountains and deserts. This vast desert country of rolling dunes and swirling mists stirs the spirit and moves the heart.
Namibia is so large and sparsely populated that it is possible to discover enormous open spaces without roads, towns, trees or even stones, just the lonely desert wind passing through one of the most enchanting corners of the earth. Nowhere else on earth does such diverse life exist in such harsh conditions.
On the gravel plains live ostriches, zebras, gemsboks, springboks, mongooses, ground squirrels and small numbers of other animals, such as black-backed jackals, bat-eared foxes, caracals, aardwolfs and brown hyenas.
Along the coast, penguins and seals thrive in the chilly Atlantic currents and in the barren Erongo mountains and Waterberg plateau the last wild black rhinoceros populations are slowly recovering.
