Spend a few days in the stark, extraordinary landscapes of Namibia, which stretch endlessly beneath a clear sky. Under the desert, and semi-desert,ecosystems that make up most of Namibia an incredible abundance of life can be uncovered. We first explore Sossusvlei, set near some of Namibia’s greatest sights. Next we head to the famous Etosha National Park, one of the few places you can still watch immense herds of animals thunder across the African plains. The park surrounds the Etosha Salt Pan, whose fleeting waters attract immense numbers of flamingos during the dry winter months.
