The country is located on the southernmost tip of the African
continent and has a coastline which stretches more than 2.500
kilometres along the Indian and Atlantic Ocean.
South Africa is a large mosaic of ethnic groups and landscapes,
cultures and traditions, wild animals and rare plants. Beeing home
of the Big Five (lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant and
rhino), many game reserves offer an amazing insight in Africa's
wildlife.
With a population of just 1,6 million, Namibia numbers among the most
sparsely populated countries in the world. It is not surprising, then,
that the greater part of the country, which extends along the Atlantic
coastline to the west of South Africa, consists of pristine natural landscapes.
Namibia is also known as Africa's diamond, thanks to the diversity of
its habitats and the wealth of its wildlife. Especially priced by animal-lovers
is the Etosha National Park. Here giraffes, elephants, rhinos and cheetahs roam,
to name just a few of its residents. In vivid contrast is the Namib Desert in the
south. Not merely the oldest desert on Earth, it also has the world's highest
sand dunes. The dune region is interspersed with mountains, farmland, savannahs
and rivers that flow for just a few weeks each year.
Besides our package holidays, one can also book a combination of separate elements
