Namib Desert
Central Namibia is widely synonymous with the desolate Namib Desert. In fact, it is the Nama word “Namib,” meaning vast dry plain, which inspired the name of the entire country. However, there is an underlying lushness to this invigorating region that is sure to pleasantly surprise. Discover a gentle side to desert in the vegetation that supports a variety of unique wildlife, and marvel at the towering dunes that give this region its fame.
Explore Swakopmund, with its charming colonial architecture and German remnants, or head straight to the towering dunes of the Sossusvlei that line the desert shore.
