Featured Destinations
Windhoek

Windhoek, Namibia's capital, is located centrally in Namibia with a Bavarian atmosphere. Being in the highlands of Namibia at an elevation of 1660 meters, the city enjoys clean air and healthy climate. The city contains a diverse group of people from various African and European nations.

Skeleton Coast
Many ships have wrecked along this desolate coast in northern Namibia because of dense fogs, hence the region's eerie name—the Skeleton Coast. The park, which encompasses some 5 million acres/2 million hectares of undulating sand dunes and dry, gravel plains, now has a road to Terrace Bay, where you can find food and accommodations (the road goes on to Mowe Bay, 50 mi/80 km farther north). The northern portion of the park (Cape Frio, Rocky Point, Huarusib Canyon) may be visited only on escorted tours. Skeleton Coast Park begins 220 mi/355 km northwest of Windhoek.
Damaraland
A haven of rugged beauty, Damaraland is most often visited for its fascinating flora and fauna. Spectacular desert views abound, and desert-adapted elephant, black rhino, zebra and southern giraffe can be found on the vast planes. Safaris, game drives and nature walks are popular activities in the area. Burnt Mountain, Rock Art at Twyfelfontein and the Petrified Forest are popular tourist destinations when visiting Damaraland. Camps and luxury wilderness lodges are the accommodation of choice in the region, providing rustic comforts in the unspoilt wilderness.
