A beautiful land of striking scenery and plentiful wildlife, Namibia is a developing nation as far as tourism is concerned, but with huge natural resources to back it up. The coastline along the South Atlantic includes the infamous Skeleton Coast , where the desert meets the sea in a rocky coastline interlaced with enticing sandy coves. Often shrouded in mist, sailors for centuries have come to grief here, giving it a reputation as a ship destroyer. It's a legend borne in truth, as the rusting shipwrecks along this coast would seem to prove.
Inland there are vast national parks, with roaming wildlife including zebra's, springbok's, eland's, sables, and white rhino's, amongst others.
For something different, if a little strenuous in the searing heat, try a trek through one of the world's largest canyons, along the mighty Fish River . Its stretches for around 100 miles, and at the highest point the sides are over 500m high.
