It’s hard to imagine a landscape more dramatic than that of the largely uninhabited southern African desert nation Namibia. Dot its picturesque lands with a hefty assortment of big game and wildlife and you’ve got the right conditions for an epic holiday setting.
A network of well-maintained (though often unpaved) roads means a visit to the Namibia’s twee and tidy settlements, broad beaches and welcoming range of bush camps and luxury lodges are all an exceptionally beautiful breeze to access. Internal bush flights bring its even more remote corners within easy reach. If you’re attracted to the idea of hitting the road, experiencing true wilderness, seeing lots of game and still being able to take a hot shower (often in your own private outdoor bathing area) every night, Namibia is the place for you – and a road trip is the best way to see it.
