General Travel Information
Namibia is a vast country dominated by the Namib Desert, an extensive inland plateau and geologically stunning mountain ranges. From the lush, northern Caprivi Strip and the wildlife of Etosha National Park to the vast and unforgettable Namib Desert and the desolate Skeleton Coast, Namibia has something for everyone. Travel here is safe and relatively uncomplicated, the infrastructure is excellent with well-maintained roads, frequently situated fuel stations and a wide variety of shops.
In the Namib, litter may last longer than a human’s lifespan. Vehicle tracks leave ugly scars on the landscape. In some areas, these tracks may take a hundred years to disappear. Namibia tends to leave its mark on people. Unfortunately, some people tend to leave their mark on the Namibian landscape as well. Every year, irresponsible off-road driving defaces our heritage, causing damage that takes decades to heal. Which means a day’s worth of joy-riding for you can translate into a century’s worth of damage for the rest of us. Protect the Namibian heritage.
