5 Reasons why Namibia should be your next Holiday Destination
For years seasoned travellers have kept an eye on Namibia. As a travel destination, you possibly could not find one as rewarding or as adventurous as Namibia. With its wide open spaces and its unforgettable landscapes, this desert country is most certainly the place for anyone wanting to experience ancient Africa and time away from the busy vibes of towns and cities.
If Namibia is not on your travel bucket list, what are you waiting for? Here are our 5 reasons why you should come to Namibia on your next holiday:
There is no crowd
Since it is a destination quite off the beaten track, you don’t have to compete with the tourist crowds. Namibia also has one of the smallest population densities on the planet, so even if you are in the towns or cities, there are never too many people around.
One of the most wonderful things about travelling through Namibia is that when you get to a far flung destination, you can really feel as though you are the last person left in the world. All of the open spaces and the lack of people can make a Namibia holiday a real, spiritual experience.
There is a lot to keep you busy
Although the country is a more of a Nomadic type of destination, there is quite a lot on offer to keep you busy. And what’s more is that there is something for everyone. Hiking, exploring canyons, going on a hot air balloon ride, enjoying a safari, and venturing into ghost towns are all options. No matter what you want to do, there is most certainly something for everyone.
There is an abundance of wildlife
Namibia might be a desert nation but it isn’t without its wildlife. In the north eastern part of the country, where the land is a little lusher and gets a little more rainfall, animals roam freely. When in this part of the country, going on a safari is possible.
Places like Etosha National Park have a rich natural diversity and high density wildlife populations. In the more remote Kaokoveld, spotting elephant, giraffe hyena and lion is not uncommon.
It is safe to travel here
To some travellers, Africa is an unsafe place to explore. Namibia is the exception though. Travelling here is actually very much safer than travelling in other places on the continent and while it is always good to have your street smarts about you, something you should be doing no matter where you go, you can really relax even when exploring towns and cities.
The landscapes
Namibia is one of the world’s most beautiful countries and it is largely due to it is absolutely exquisite landscapes. The mountains as well as the deserts offer truly unforgettable sights, especially in the morning when the sun rises and in the evening when the sun sets.
The landscapes are also quite diverse and dramatic in every way.
