Namibia, Southern Africa

From Anouk Zijlma, About.com

Namibia in Southern Africa is a popular destination for tourists interested in wildlife, desert scenery and traditional African cultures. Namibia is easy to travel around, the roads are good and you can rent a car or camper and make use of the wonderful campsites that are well maintained throughout the country. The main towns of Swakopmund and the capital Windhoek are modern towns with lots of hotels and restaurants.

Etosha National Park is the country's premier wildlife park. There are several upscale lodges in the park and you are very likely to see the Big 5 when you visit. Other Namibian highlights include hiking in the world second largest canyon, the Fish River canyon. You can also spend time in the remote area of Kaokoland with the Himba or the San Bushmen in the Kalahari Desert. The sand dunes of Namibia are legendary; they're vast, beautiful and a lot of fun to roll down.
