Namibia

Namibia's popularity as a safari and adventure-activity destination has taken off exponentially, with a corresponding increase in the range of options available to travellers. This second edition provides a thorough update of accommodation and activities on offer in game parks and towns alike, including detailed accommodation listings for guest farms, lodges and bush-camps. As well as desert activities including dune-boarding, ballooning and quad-biking, the coverage extends to the fascinating range of wildlife adapted to Namibia's climate, visiting bushman villages, eco-travel and exploring local culture. The picturesque capital of Windhoek is covered in detail, but the main bulk of the guide is given to the pristine yet accessible wilderness of Namibia - from the desolation of the Skeleton Coast and awesome Namib Desert to the lush Kavango and Caprivi Strip in the east. Some pioneering, self-drive routes have been added to the guide, with GPS co-ordinates and driving tips.
