Take wonderful starry skies and sand dunes of ocher and pebbly among the most spectacular in the world, with wild animals crossing the road when you have less than expected, camping in the wildest wilderness and in the most remote places, women Who will try to sell you any kind of artifact, to children who, with their eyes, will be on your sensitivity but will fill you with joy. All this but not only is Namibia, a country that will no doubt remain in the heart.
Africa has long been a destination for travelers and explorers, becoming the protagonist of many books and films. Just as the Orient always attracted and captured the Westerners for their own spirituality, their being so different from the reality in which they live, so the African continent is becoming the object of interest by those who experience a huge interest in primitive nature and the Wild animals, naturally, to the peoples who inhabit it.
This enormous continent has many different countries in its history, peoples and geographic landscapes, and Namibia is the best in this diversity. Traveling within the country you will soon realize how this country is up to a few unknown years now has become one of the most famous places in the world, in the wishes of many travelers.
What makes this country unique to other African countries?
Surely the variety of landscapes you can admire along the way. First of all, for beauty is the desert within the Namib-Naukluft Park, which extends for 480 km along the coast and enters the inland characterized by its shades ranging from roses, orange, light brown to second Of the sunlight but also of the dunes themselves. This desert will leave you speechless, especially if you have the opportunity, to climb the Big Daddy and then get down to the plain of dead trees, Dedvlei. It is in these moments that nature will seem magical and the world with it.
All the fatigue of this walk on the dunes will be rewarded when you reach the summit and you will have another confirmation of how wonderful nature and the world are. After the hard work and contemplation of the landscape, do not miss the Big Daddy’s descent to the plains of the trees, run, jump, give free vent to your adrenaline, it will be one of the funniest things on the trip!
Desert landscapes moving to the coast will meet the misty misty landscapes of the Skeleton Coast where you will see the desert thrown into the ocean, the flamingos of Walwis Bay, Swakopmund, the typical oceanfront holiday town, or watch the flamingos without losing a stop at Cape Cross to observe close to one of the largest octopus colonies in the world;
Between a desert and marine landscape will frame the immense landscapes and the endless streets that remind us a bit of the American ones. And I will not encounter along these wildlife trips across the road.
That’s why this country is the ideal place for travelers on the road, for traveling backpackers on their shoulders.
Do you want mountains and rocky landscapes? Head to Spitzkoppe, a mountain formation dating to more than 700 million years that reaches 1700 m in height and which in fact is one of the most inconvenient places in the country. A great place to climb or just jump from one rock and the other and enjoy sunrise and sunset to breath.
On a trip to Africa, you can not miss the safari, and the Etosha National Park will not disappoint you. Animals in this park, unlike other African parks, can be spotted above water puddles. In such an arid and inhospitable place, this resource is even more precious than in other places and so although many animals can be seen running or moving in the meadows, it is not uncommon for many of them to be near the puddles.
In short, a trip to this country will not disappoint you at all, on the contrary it will remain in your heart.
