Namibia_

Namibia offers landscapes of striking emptiness—the Namib Desert's red dunes, Skeleton Coast's shipwrecks, and Etosha's salt pans create stark beauty. The wildlife adapts to desert conditions in fascinating ways. The infrastructure is good for self-driving safari, unusual in Africa. German colonial influence remains visible. Costs are moderate. Namibia suits those seeking dramatic desert landscapes and self-drive adventure, with tolerance for long distances and empty spaces.
