Namibia Accommodation
Namibia never fails to enthral
its visitors, to charge the fantasies and imaginations of narrators
in their efforts to aptly describe the many-facetted grandeur
and harsh splendour of this desert country.
Known for its contrasting landscapes. The desolate
Namib Desert is said to be the oldest in the world, with its
high dunes and awe-inspiring sense of space. The central plateau,
with its thorn bush savannah and rugged mountains, rising abruptly
from the plains, gives way to the majestic Fishriver Canyon
in the south. In the north of the country, landscapes range
from dense bush and open plains of the great Etosha Pan, to
woodland savannah and lush vegetation. Dinosaur footprints preserved
in sandstone, prehistoric rock art, the ancient fossil plant,
Welwitschia mirabilis, all bare witness to the timelessness
of this country.
The long narrow coastal belt of desert which
extends for 50km-140km along the entire coastline and interspersed
with dune belts, dry riverbeds and deeply eroded canyons is
sometimes known as the ‘Skeleton Coast’.
