Namibia | 2025

Namibia, country located on the southwestern coast of Africa. It is bordered by Angola to the north, Zambia to the northeast, Botswana to the east, South Africa to the southeast and south, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. It ranges from arid in the north to desert on the coast and in the east. The landscape is spectacular, but the desert, mountains, canyons, and savannas are perhaps better to see than to occupy. Namib Desert may not be the world’s largest desert, but it is almost certainly the oldest. It is, for example, much older than the Sahara. Desert up-close look at the sand dunes of the Namib Desert is enough to make most travelers realize that these dunes are really big. Some dunes here are 300m/984ft high and stretch more than 32km long!
