We Went To Namibia To Explore Its Most Amazing Places, And This Is What We Found

ADVERTISEMENT

Do you know the feeling of excitement when you finally purchase your plane tickets and start counting days left till your next adventure?

When we were buying our plane tickets to Namibia, none of us was sure what to expect. When it comes to Africa, Namibia is not a place of first choice for most of the people. But you know what? It turned out to be one of the most stunning countries we have ever been to! Orange, endless desert horizons, majestic sand dunes, breathtaking canyons, wild animals crossing the road, beautiful people, incredible starry skies and those sunsets! Words cannot describe the beauty of this country, so let the video and photos speak for themselves!

WOW ! What a lifetime of memories you will have ! I've seen pictures before of Kolmanskop , the ghost town in the Namib desert before, but, I enjoyed the pictures of the children the most.

I remember petting a cheetah (wow!) but don't remember in which country - it might have been here.

We got up very early to get to the top of Dune 45 for sunrise. Those who climbed the smaller dune opposite got better view for less effort!

Did you see the penguin colony at (I think) Walvis Bay? Even smellier and noisier than the seals.

Namibia is vast but driving is easy - even though the roads aren't paved, the surface is good.
