The sheer natural beauty of Namibia is just the first and most obvious of the many things that make this incredible country so worth travelling to. And that’s before we even touch on its versatility and accessibility.

In addition to its varying landscapes – from desert to bush to coast – it also offers a lot of diversity for travellers to tailor their trips (self-drive or private reserve, self-catering or luxury lodges). And its incredible scenery and diverse terrains (offering equally broad scope for activities) make it an especially good destination for photographers and adventure seekers.

Let’s unpack just a few of the reasons we love it…

Landscapes of dreams

Namibia’s landscapes are the stuff of legend. Some have to be seen to be believed – from the otherworldly red dunes of Sossusvlei to the stark white beaches of the Skeleton Coast, it’s a visually remarkable country that offers a lot of room for variety as far as scenery goes, even within its own borders. This lends it to long stays too – with so much ground to cover and so much to do and see, you’ll want to take your time.

One of the least populated countries on the planet, this is also one of the few places in the world you can come for absolute peace, quiet and space. So if you’re the type of traveller who wants to avoid the crowds, you can be sure that this will tick that box.

Diverse and varying

Namibia is unique not just for its incredible landscapes, but also in terms of the variety and versatility it offers visitors. With many beautiful self-catering stays, and equally as many full-service luxury lodges, you can choose how autonomous you want to be. You can even combine different types of lodging for a full 360-degree experience.

The varying terrains too, pave the way for different experiences as you venture along your chosen route. From boat cruises along the lush riverine bushveld in the north, to rock-art appreciation and spotting desert adapted rhinos and elephants in Damaraland, hot-air ballooning or four wheeling over the dunes in Sossusvlei, hiking in the Fish River Canyon, and watersports in Swakopmund, every day of your itinerary can hold a new adventure.

Low volume, high reward

Due to its vastness and the disproportionately low percentage of people to space, this is arguably one of the most peaceful on the planet to visit.

In a world so frenetic, busy, stressful (and crowded), space and quiet is a luxury in its own right, one that isn’t easy to come by. So a destination where you can drive for hours and pass only a handful of cars, or sit around a fire with friends without another soul for miles in any direction is a rarity, and offers a uniquely peaceful travel experience, fully immersed in nature.
