Namibia Travel Guide

Look northwest of South Africa and you'll find the wide-open spaces of Namibia. Deserts that stretch to an ever-vanishing horizon, jagged mountain peaks, flat gravel plains glistening with garnets cannot fail to stir your soul. In the Great White Place of Etosha National Park, your camera will likely click nonstop as golden lions pad over white sand, crimson-breasted shrikes flit among dry trees, and herds of black-faced impalas slake their thirst at water holes in the heat of day, watched by a crouching leopard.
