Welcome to
the Namibia-1on1 information site. By using this site along with its
7 companion interlinking sites you have all of the information that
you need to make your visit to Namibia a great success. If you are planning a visit, be it
for business or leisure purposes you need look no further, but heed
this advice. Us web browsers tend to skip and jump around sites, we
want the info quickly. OK! I'm a bit like that myself, but before
you go grass-hopping around, be aware that there is one mighty heap
of info on these sites, and it is all very relevant if you are
planning a visit here, so it's worth spending that bit longer and
doing your research here with care.

Namibia
Strange Trees
Colourful Wildlife |
Namibia is a magnificently
vast, rugged and seemingly empty land. There are areas where you can drive for
over 250km (155mile) between service stations and camp in places having your
nearest neighbour over 100km (62mile)away. You will see the cloudless and the
bluest of blue skies for many months of the year, and if visiting in the rainy season,
hopefully, a welcome afternoon downpour. Namibia is a country of breathtaking
contrast. From the tropical forests of the Caprivi where the Okavango
and great Zambezi are home to crocodiles, hippo, and the herds of
migrating elephants - to the unique lifestyle of the creatures
of the Namib Desert that survive for months without 'drinking'
water. On the eastern border with Botswana the red sands of the
Kalahari flow onto the central savannah where,on
the large ranches, the cattle and sheep graze contentedly alongside the
wild game animals. And further south the herds of Oryx, kudu,
springbok and wild desert horses roam freely across the land. On the
west coast you will find the legendary and forbidding Skeleton Coast
and it is here that desert lions go down to the sea
to pray upon unwary seals as they bask on the shoreline. Inland the
elusive desert elephants of the Namib, the largest in the world, make their
daily trek of up to sixty kilometres in search for food and water. And
amongst all of this 'Africa' you will find a relatively orderly, peaceful, democratic
society. A country having modern facilities and clean
towns while allowing and respecting the ancient cultures and values of
others, such as the Himba tribes-people of the Kaokoveld. It is in
this land that you will discover the beauty and
experience the diversity, the remoteness, and the wonder of Africa at its best.
Thank you for being here. |
