Namibia - “The land God made in anger”. The first country to incorporate the protection of the environment into its constitution, Namibia’s wild, frontier character permeates its vast, wide-open spaces, with fire-coloured dunes merging with an endless sky. These mountains of sand are most magnificent at the remote desert moonscape called Sossusvlei, home to the world’s tallest standing dunes.
Namibia is named after the 80-million-year-old Namib Desert, one of the driest places on earth. Known as ‘The Living Desert’, the Namib is a world of vast space, endless horizons, dramatic desertscapes and jagged mountain heights. The ancient dunes span the entire Atlantic coast, covering the 800 mile-long, Skeleton Coast.
