Namibia is characterized by its desert habitat. The harsh environment forms a magnificent backdrop for a different kind of safari. Animal populations are smaller, but sightings in this sparse setting tend to be rewarding. Not to be missed is Etosha Pan, the largest salt pan in Africa and a seasonal wildlife magnet.
Overview of the regions and towns:
Caprivi
The Caprivi Strip is situated in the northeast of Namibia and unlike the rest of the country is blessed with good rainfalls. The name Caprivi or Caprivi Strip is still in common use although the region had been officially renamed to Zambezi in 2013.
Damaraland
The "Damaraland" is part of the Kunene Region in the northwest of Namibia and is located between the Brandberg and the little village of Sesfontein. Damaraland is characterised by its rocky and rugged landscapes of rough, fascinating beauty.
Erongo region
The Erongo Region in central-western Namibia is an ideal stop-over for everyone on the way from Namibia’s capital Windhoek to Swakopmund in the west or the Etosha National Park in the north and the northwestern areas of the Damaraland or Kaokoveld.
Etosha region
Apart from the Etosha National Park the region also includes southern areas up to Outjo as well as the regions east and west of the Park. The whole area is dominated by the famous Etosha National Park. The Park is one of the most important game reserves in Africa and is home to numerous game species.
Fish River region
The vast Fish River Region with its impressive landscapes is situated in the far south of Namibia and stretches from the South African border up to the small town of Aus in the south-west and further to Keetmanshoop in the south-east of Namibia.
Kalahari region
The Kalahari Region in Namibia forms part of the 2.5 million square metre large Kalahari Basin, one of the largest coherent sand expanses worldwide. The central parts of the Kalahari Basin consists of the Kalahari Savanna also known as the Kalahari Desert.
Kaokoveld
The Kaokoveld is part of the Kunene Region in the far northwest of Namibia. The Kaokoveld is bordered by the Kunene River in the north, the Atlantic Ocean in the west, and the Central North Region in the east and Damaraland.
Kavango
The Kavango Region includes the politically separated areas Kavango-East and Kavango-West. Life in the Kavango Region, the natural surrounding, and the culture are strongly influenced by the Okavango, a majestic river originating from the Angolan highlands and flowing into the Okavango Delta in Botswana.
Lüderitz
A visit of Lüderitz, the small harbour town in the southwest of Namibia, is recommended if some cooling down and recreation is needed after a hot journey through the south of Namibia.
North Central
The region ‘Central North’ formerly known as Ovamboland includes the four political regions Oshikoto, Ohangwena, Omusati and Oshana. The population here consists mainly of the people from the Ovambo language group. About half of Namibia’s population lives in the Central North and compared to the rest of the country the population density is relatively high.
Omaheke
Politically spoken the Omaheke forms one of the 14 administration regions of Namibia. This website extends the Omaheke Region as the geographical boundary between the Kalahari Region in the south and the Kavango Region in the north, fully aware of the fact that the Omaheke is part of the Kalahari.
Otavi
The Otavi Region is located east of the Etosha National Park on the road connecting Namibia's capital Windhoek and the densely populated north of Namibia and the Kavango-Caprivi Region. The three towns Otavi, Tsumeb and Grootfontein make up the so-called Otavi Triangle. In its centre lies the scenic Otavi mountain range.
Sossusvlei region
The Sossusvlei Region is situated in south-western Namibia and is characterised mainly by the Namib Naukluft Park and its highlight Sossusvlei and Dead Vlei. The Region is very diverse with the breath-taking Namib Desert to the west and the Great escarpment to the far east.
Swakopmund
Swakopmund is the capital of the Erongo Region and has about 34,000 inhabitants. Swakopmund serves mainly as a holiday resort and is thus of touristic importance. Swakopmund is known as the activity centre of Namibia, nowhere else in the country will travellers find such a variety of possible activities.
Swakopmund Surrounds
The region surrounding Swakopmund is very diverse. One can find the characteristic sand desert and gravel plains, as well as savanna and mountainous landscapes of the Great Escarpment. The areas within the Namib Naukluft Park and the Dorob National Park are especially scenic.
Walvis Bay
Walvis Bay is a harbour town at the Atlantic coast in Namibia. Walvis Bay is the third-largest town in Namibia and hosts the only deepwater port in the country. As the water of the coastal area is very clean Walvis Bay is known for its high-quality fish, oysters, rock lobsters, etc.
Waterberg
The region around the Waterberg, including the town Otjiwarongo and the Hochfeld area, are ideally situated for travellers on the way from Windhoek to the north and to the Etosha National Park. The Waterberg Mountain forms the centre of the region and is one of the main attractions of Namibia.
Windhoek
Windhoek is the capital of Namibia and has around 300,000 and has an African-European charm. The city is 100% suitable for Africa greenhorns. Windhoek offers quite a few places of interest for example the Christchurch, the Tintenpalast (seat of the government), the old fort "Alte Feste" the monument of the German rider as well as several museums and galleries.
Windhoek Surrounds
The region of the Windhoek surrounds is located in the central highlands between the Kalahari and the Great Escarpment. The traveller can expect different landscape structures and countless accommodation facilities. This region is ideal for staying over at the beginning of your journey.
