Namibia på 10 dager

Namibia

Oversikt

One of Africa's best self-drive routes: from Windhoek south to Sossusvlei's towering red dunes and Deadvlei's white clay pan, west to the German-colonial coastal town of Swakopmund, then north to Etosha National Park's floodlit waterholes for some of Southern Africa's most reliable wildlife-watching. Roads are excellent gravel and tar throughout, but distances are considerable — this is a genuine road trip.
