Because Namibia is an unexplored paradise, a land of beauty, diversity, contrasts and mystery with rugged mountains, deep canyons, wide open spaces and some of the largest sand dunes in the world.  A land of amazing people, that you will find nowhere else, the sheer heart-stopping splendour of its harsh landscapes and sub-tropical regions will leave you with memories to last a lifetime.
Namibia is a sparsely inhabited Country, with a population of around 2 million in a Country that is easily twice the size of Germany or California.  Namibia has a stable economy and a good infrastructure, with mining, fishing, agriculture and tourism among its major industries. The country is linked to South Africa and its currency, the Namibian Dollar, is pegged to and interchangeable with the South African Rand.
Namibia has taken millennia to form into the Country that we now live in, this shows, nowhere more, than in the ancient landscape of one of the oldest deserts in the world.   In Namibia, the layers of time are clearly marked and preserved.  A meteorite 20,000 years old, an ancient volcano eroded by the wind, a dinosaur's footprints fossilised in rock, rock paintings over 26,000 years old; a river canyon eroded deep into the landscape, millions of years in the making. The incredible dunes in the Southern Desert took many eons of time to reach their present state and they are still considered young. Their petrified counterparts are over 20 million years old.
Despite its reputation as a harsh land, Namibia is one of the best wildlife destinations in Africa. Etosha National Park is a phenomenon unto itself. The Waterberg Plateau, Damaraland, The Kalahari and The Caprivi all add hugely contrasting wildlife habitats to the diversity that is this wonderful and beautiful Namibia.   Also the people who inhabit this land, are no less captivating than their wildlife counterparts. In Bushmanland the San hunter-gatherers continue their ancient traditions, travelling to Kaokoland and along the Kunene River you will find the Himba, a nomadic people with proud traditions who occupy this remote and rugged area.  The ghost of a diamond-rush era remains in Lüderitz and Swakopmund and Walvis Bay thrive despite being situated along an inhospitable coast, with Swakopmund being one of the most popular tourist destinations in Namibia and the Skeleton Coast reveals the source of its name when you come across remains of ancient shipwrecks along the coastline
