Namibia

It’s been a while since you’ve been out on some adventure and now your feet are probably rarin’ to go again. This time why not route on the southern part of the hemisphere, Namibia for instance. Namibia is situated in the African continent specifically on the southwest coast. In terms of size, Namibia is a large country but with only a handful of inhabitants. You’ll be surprised by the diverse culture of this country since 87% of the population is black and about 6% are white. This is so because the country was originally a part of Germany until it was captured by South Africa during WW I.

And do you know that there are still Bushmen that wander about in some areas of the country? And aside from the unique people, Namibia also boasts of a unique landscape. Two of the world’s renowned Deserts can be found right here, the coastal Namib Desert and the majestic Kalahari Desert. A great place for a Namibian adventure is the central semiarid mountains. Its rich landscape is home to a wide variety of wildlife and birdlife. It’ also rich in minerals like diamonds, copper, lead, gold and zinc.

Feel a craving for the city lights? The capital city Windhoek is the perfect place to be. It is said that this is one of the most relaxed capitals in Africa. This Namibian capital offers neogothic architecture of cafes, local eateries that serve delicious local cuisine and German delicacies.
