Most tours of Namibia start in its capital, Windhoek, where most travelers fly into the Eros airport. Windhoek was founded by famous Namibian Jonker Afrikaner.  From here, many visitors choose to travel to one of the many Namibia wildlife resorts in the country.

Wildlife resorts are located in all of the national parks, including the Namib-Naukluft Park in the Namib Desert, the Etosha National Park, and Fish River Canyon. Of the many highly recommended eco lodges,  Sossusvlei Lodge is one of the best.  It sits on the edge of the Namib and offers tours, activities and lodging in a wild desert landscape.

Etosha National Park is home to the Mokuti Lodge, a beautiful oasis with luxury accommodations set against the rugged desert landscape. Visitors to Etosha should not miss a trip to the Kuiseb River, which winds through the park on its way to the Atlantic coast.  Namibia travel information available online will give you information on travel packages to Etosha, including deals with the Mokuti Lodge.

Many visitors are drawn to the lengthy Namibian coastline.  Swakopmund is one of the best destinations along the coast and features many beautiful colonial buildings.  Swakopmund tourist information will include information on visiting close by sites such as Cape Cross, a salt road that runs north of Swakopmund.

For visitors that want to explore uncharted lands, a trip to the Aha Hills is recommended.  Located on the Botswana border, these dolomite hills are home to mysterious sink holes.  Travel is limited in the area, but hikers here will be rewarded with pristine, uninhabited landscapes and panoramic desert vistas.

To see classic African wildlife travel to east Namibia. The far east of Namibia is home to Katima Mulilo, a small town situated in the Caprivi Strip, a narrow piece of land that juts out of Namibia’s eastern border.  Its lush, jungle landscape is home to many species of birds and monkeys.  Waterford Plateau Park, east of Katima Mulilo, is a savannah landscape, and is home to animals such as elephants and rhinoceros.
