With each region of Namibia offering unique experiences, you are certain to enjoy your holiday here. Begin in the capital city of Windhoek, located in the centre of the country and surrounded by rolling mountains. In this city one can see the influence of German colonisation in the architecture and restaurants where you can savour traditional German dishes. From Windhoek venture to the Canyon where you will discover the largest gorge in Africa. Formed over 500 million years ago, Fish River Canyon; set in a stony plain, is one of this region’s spectacular phenomenons. In addition to taking pictures of this gorgeous natural wonder, challenge yourself to a hike along any of its winding trails. The Kalahari is another popular site and is in fact the world’s largest continuous stretch of sand. No visit to the Kalahari Desert would be complete without meeting the proud San Bushmen. We can arrange for an experience you are sure not to forget as you dive into the culture of this tribe learning their traditions and origins.
