Namibia is an extraordinary stop on any African road trip, offering a mix of breathtaking natural wonders, endless wildlife experiences, and unforgettable moments.
Along the Atlantic coast, kayak with playful seals in the chilly waters or explore the Skeleton Coast, known for its shipwrecks, dense fog, and haunting beauty.
In the heart of the country, the towering red dunes of Sossusvlei are one of the world’s most surreal sights. Rising high into the sky, these dunes are the perfect vantage point to watch the sunrise cast a golden glow across the desert.
For wildlife enthusiasts, Etosha National Park offers an opportunity to witness animals up close at the park’s waterholes—sometimes just a few meters away. Watch these waterholes come alive at night, offering a rare chance to witness nocturnal interactions between predators and prey.
Whether exploring vast deserts, encountering wildlife in one of Africa’s most unique parks, or discovering its stunning coastlines, Namibia is a destination for adventure seekers and nature lovers alike.

Language: Oshiwambo and Afrikaans are commonly spoken. However, English is the official national language.
Currency: Namibian; however, the US Dollar is widely used.
Ease of Money Exchange: While bank machines are widely available in cities, they can be unreliable. Often, machines run out of cash, or credit cards are rejected. It is common to try several machines before finding one that works. Carry some cash with you, as many National Parks are cash only.

Outside the cities, highways are mostly corrugated roads in good condition.
The roads into Etosha National Park and throughout the park were well-groomed and easy to navigate.
