Top Attractions in Namibia

A Guide to the must-see sights in Namibia. From the sand dunes in Sossusvlei to the world class Etosha National Park. Namibia is full of surprises with its odd mixture of German towns and scantily clad Himba it is an excellent place to visit.
Etosha National Park
Namibia's top National Park. Home to Africa's tallest elephants, the endangered black rhino, and 91 other species of mammal. With 3 great lodges to stay in and over 30 waterholes it is a wonderful park for wildlife viewing.
Skeleton Coast
The Skeleton Coast derives its macabre name from the skeletons of ships and humans that litter the desert along this treacherous coastline. Perfect for a fly-in safari and you can also get to see Cape fur seals, hyena and jackals.
Fish River Canyon
Second only to the Grand Canyon in its grandness, the Fish River Canyon offers a great hike. Fifty-four miles (86km) in 5 days amidst the colorful immensity carrying your own food and shelter. No amenities or porters on this hike. Luckily a spa awaits you at the end. You have to be fit and it is only open for hiking from May to September.
