Few countries in the world can match Namibia’s sheer natural beauty. The country’s name derives from its (and the world’s) oldest desert – the Namib, and there are few more stirring desert realms on the planet – from the stunning sand sea and perfect dead-tree valleys at Sossusvlei to the otherworldliness of sand-dunes plunging down to the ocean at Sandwich Harbour and the Skeleton Coast.
Here are some of the highlights of the Beyonder experience in Namibia – the land of Endless Horizons:
Self-Drive through the oldest, driest desert in the world across over 1500 kms of endless horizons – one of the best self-drive destinations in the World
Climb the highest Sand dunes in the world
Ride down the desert dunes to meet the ocean
Watch the display of bones of marine animals and shipwrecks along the Skeleton Coast
Admire the ancient rock art (engravings & paintings) of the San hunter-gatherers
Experience the culture of the local Damara people in the Living Museum
Visit one of the largest breeding colonies of Cape Fur Seals (Cape Cross)
Elephants, Lions and horses in the desert? See it only in Namibia!
Experience the vastness of the endless horizons of the 2nd least densely populated country in the world
