Namibia

Namibia offers travellers a distinctive mix of wildlife, distinctive local cultures, dramatic landscapes and strong community traditions. The country's best-known visitor experiences include Sossusvlei, Etosha, Swakopmund, making it suitable for sightseeing, culture and flexible multi-stop itineraries. Food is part of the experience too, with grilled dishes, regional stews, fresh produce and local specialties. NO17 recommends allowing enough time for both headline attractions and slower neighbourhood, scenic or cultural experiences, while matching transport and daily pace to the season and travel group.
