A vast array of colours

The Namibia is a country that declines under the sign of "gigantism". You will be amazed by the immense desert expanses of Namib, the vibrant red dunes of Sossusvlei, the disturbing Skeleton Coast with its shipwrecks and seal colonies, the rugged terrain of Damaraland, the exciting Himba nomadic tribes near Angola, the big 5 of the salt pans'Etosha, and the river ecosystem of the Caprivi Strip which has nothing to envy the Okavango Delta. Namibia holds privileged places for lovers of wide open spaces as well as for wildlife photography enthusiasts. It is one of the few countries in the world where you can feel the intensity of the land and the space.
