Highlights
Etosha National Park: One of the largest parks in Africa
Its definitive feature is the Etosha Pan, a vast, shallow depression of approximately 5000 sq
km
For the greater part of the year, the pan is a bleak expanse of white cracked mud which shimmers with mirages on most days
Waterberg Nature Reserve: Rising some 200m above a surrounding sea of African bush and savannah, the Waterberg Plateau with its flamboyant brick-red sandstone formations and lush green vegetation presents an island of vibrant colour
Namib Desert: Considered possibly the oldest desert in the world, the Namib was already arid at least 80 million years ago
In the south, it extends into South Africa across the Orange River, while in the north it crosses the Kunene into Angola
Swakopmund: Swakopmund is much loved by Namibians as a welcome respite from the inland heat
It is also popular amongst visitors for its old-world charm and relaxed atmosphere
