Namibia , with its golden deserts, silvery salt-pans, azure skies and year-round sunshine is rightly described as Africa's secret gem.

A land of seemingly endless panoramas of space and freedom, nature has given Namibia some priceless gifts.

Here you can watch the animals gathering around the waterholes in the arid Etosha National Park, view the spectacular Fish River Canyon, or marvel at the wind-sculpted sand dunes of the Namib, the oldest desert in the world.

In spite of its vastness - four times the size of the UK - Namibia has a well-developed transport and tourism infrastructure with more kilometres of road per head of population than anywhere in the world and driving is on the left. The country can be explored by hire car, luxury coach, four-wheel drive vehicles and light aircraft.

Hotels and game lodges are of international standards, but a special feature of Namibia is its network of comfortable guest farms where visitors join their hosts for meals and become involved in the rural way of life.
