Explore the unknown

Namibia gives you the chance to avoid sites ruined by big crowds of tourists and going to places that are a little more off the beaten path.

The Fish River Canyon

In the south of Namibia, you’ll find the Fish River Canyon, which is the second longest canyon in the world and the second most visited tourist attraction. In total, it’s approximately 160 km (100 miles) long and a popular destination for hikers.

Namibia is a photographer’s paradise

Apart from the towering dunes of the Namib Desert and the lengthy Fish River Canyon, there is so much more to see on your Namibia safari. Decaying ships of the Skeleton Coast, Deadvlei’s clay pan with camel-thorn trees and ancient rock art at Twyfelfontein. Namibia is a true paradise for photographers.

The Big Five and 700 species of birds
