La Namibia it is an African country, located in the southern part of the continent. The main peculiarity of Namibia lies in the many different options available: you can visit one of the oldest deserts on earth, with its colorful dunes, or even venture on a pleasant photographic safari along the river Zambezi.
Namibia is a land of contrasts
This state is very young, given that it only split from South Africa in 1990, but these places tell of the thousand-year-old stories of the people who lived here. The main ethnicity of the populations present in Namibia is that Bantu, although populations belonging to many different tribes can be found. In addition to the native populations, gods have also settled in Namibia over the centuries settlers of European origin, generally German, Dutch, French and Portuguese.

What to see in Namibia
This state is certainly made for those who love traveling holidays, because there are so many things to see that it would be inappropriate to stay too long in one place. The territory is very large, more than double that of Italy, and is characterized by a very low population density. About 14% of all Namibia is made up of nature parks, where animals and plants coexist in total harmony.
The desert
Il desert of namib occupies most of the territory of Namibia Its very high dunes stand out on the horizon and certainly an area worth visiting is that of Sossusvlei: it is a pan, that is, a large basin which during the dry season is covered with a thin crust of salt. The dunes reach the coast, creating a particular contrast between the ocean water and the desert gray and red.
Perfect for those who love animals
Much of Namibia's territory is dotted with pan, similar to that of Sossusvlei. This type of conformation allows the animals to have fresh water available for most of the year. Don't miss the Etosha National Park.
The climate
The best time to visit Namibia is between May and October, avoiding the southern summer months, which are particularly rainy and characterized by a decidedly uninviting climate. The current of Benguele it laps the coasts of Africa, causing a particular climate, which can at times be very cold; especially if you intend to visit the places on the coast it is a good idea to pack some warm clothes, because the sea often brings fog and cold, humid nights.
