About Namibia
Namibia is a country of vast emptiness and dramatic beauty. The Namib Desert — the world's oldest — features towering sand dunes that glow red at sunrise. The Skeleton Coast's shipwrecks and sea fogs create an eerie beauty. Etosha National Park teems with African wildlife. The Fish River Canyon rivals the Grand Canyon. Namibia has maintained a strong conservation ethic. Driving this landscape is meditation.
