Located on Africa’s Atlantic coast, Namibia has a chequered past. It was German South West Africa between 1884 and 1915, a devastating time for the Herero, Nama and Damara tribes, and was then taken over by South Africa until Namibia declared independence in 1990.
Today, the German influence is visible in Windhoek, the capital, with its layout of “strasses”, beer gardens and colonial-era architecture.
Northern Namibia is home to the Etosha National Park. A game reserve since 1907, there are 114 species of mammal, 340 types of bird, 110 types of reptile and 16 amphibian species.
To the south lies the Namib Desert, a harsh but beautiful landscape of red sand dunes. The desert stretches 1,600km along the Skeleton Coast, the sinister-sounding site of many shipwrecks, some of which are now being found inland as the sand reclaims land from the sea.
Hot, hot, hot. This desert country can enjoy temperatures of 40 degrees in the summer. The coastal areas are cooler.
