ABOUT NAMIBIA:

Located on the Western coast of Southern Africa, Namibia is recognized as one of the foremost up-and-coming destinations for adventure travel. Defined by vast expanses of dramatic landscapes and coastline, it is home to unique communities of desert-adapted wildlife. And, as the world’s second least-densely populated nation, it is a favorite destination of celebrities seeking isolated and undisturbed holidays.

Namibia is unique in the world as the only country whose entire coastline is protected, and as the first country to include environmental protection in its constitution As a result, it’s often considered to be Africa’s best conservation success story, with dozens of community-based natural resource management projects bringing real economic and social value to local communities through conservation.  It is home to the only remaining population of free-roaming Black Rhinos and the only expanding population of free-roaming lions on Earth.
