Exploring the varied regions of Namibia.
Situated in Namibia's central highlands, Windhoek, the capital, is an
attractive city surrounded by clusters of hills and the impressive Auas and Eros
mountains.
The Namib-Naukluft Park, covering over 49 768 km is not only the
largest nature conservation area in Namibia, but it is rated as the fourth largest in the
world, as well as being the most unusual.
The Etosha National Park is one of the major sanctuaries for wildlife
in Africa and was proclaimed a game reserve by German Governor von Lindequist in 1907.
The semi-arid southern region consists of sun-baked savannah with its
yellowish-brown tints and characteristic euphorbia and aloe plant species. It has a stark
beauty which creates its own mystery.
