Home to the oldest desert in the world, Namibia's lashings of sunshine and contrasting landscapes will blow you away

Namibia is a large country with a relatively small population, making it the second least densely populated country in the world.

Namibia's stunning landscape is home to the Namib Desert, said to be the oldest desert in the world and famous as the birthplace of the Human Race.
