Namibia is an all-year-round wilderness destination.
There are certain seasons such as the months, November to March,
for birding with the migratory birds visiting.
December to May is good for botany, when the vegetation is green and
when most plants are in flower. |

General :
Situated on the south-western Atlantic Coast of the African sub-continent, Namibia derived its name from the Namib Desert,
renown for the pristine and haunting quality of its landscape. The country shares borders with Angola and Zambia in the north,
South Africa in the south and Botswana in the east. With an estimated population of 1.8 million Namibia’s population
density is one of the lowest in the world.
Bountiful sunshine combined with an abundance of wildlife, scenic
beauty, rich diversity of geological phenomena and a feeling of unconfined
space, make it a sought after destination. The friendliness of
the people as well as our cultural diversity
creates a rich blend of traditions. |
