]]>Namibia has so much natural beauty from deserts to the coast, and the mountains and forests. Namibia also has pockets of cool urban living, which gives tourists the flexibility to cater to their trip to their preferences.
And with English being the official language, nothing should hold you back from visiting Namibia.
Nature Activities
For those who love to hike and want to experience the world’s oldest rock carvings and drawings, you have to check out Brandberg Mountain. This mountain also culminates in the highest peak in the country, so you can get an education while you enjoy the fantastic views.
If you’re more of a river person, head to the Zambezi region of the Namibia in the northeastern part of the country. There will find the Zambezi river where you can take a boat ride and see nature up close. Visitors often find themselves next to hippos, crocodiles, and more, which is a truly unbelievable experience.
What’s really convenient about Namibia is that there is actually a coastal desert called the Namib Desert, which means you can go from relaxing at the beach to living your best life out on the sand dunes in no time. Swakopmund is a town that has a high German influence from their colonization of Namibia.
While the architecture is really beautiful, it’s important to reflect and get educated on the occupation and genocide that the Germans caused, especially to the Herero people. Once you’ve taken in Swakopmund, you can drive just a short distance away to Walvis Bay which is home to Dune 7, the largest sand dune in the country. There are also pink salt lakes which are just stunning.
While you’re in Walvis Bay, you should definitely visit where the Tropic of Capricorn crosses! It’s in between Walvis Bay and Sossusvlei and has a big sign where photos are encouraged.
Urban Life
The capital of Namibia is Windhoek but you will be surprised to find that is looks really cosmopolitan and quite European. This is again because of the German colonization of the country, but although it was harsh and inhumane, the relics left from the occupation are quite beautiful. Take a walk around the center of the city and you’ll see beautiful churches like the Christuskirche.
Since the city has a lot of German influences, it’s no wonder why the city has had a thriving beer brewing culture for almost the last 100 years. And with the hot summer heat, it’s nice to sit down and have a cold brew to chill you out. Some great places to try are the famous Namibia Breweries Limited, Joe’s Beer House, and The Beer Barrel, although most restaurants will carry local beers as well.
For nightlife, some of the best clubs to check out are Club London and Warehouse Theater if you’re really in the mood to dance. If you want to have a more relaxing night of just eating a traditional meal, check out the restaurant Pepata, which serves up real Namibian food with incredible tastes and aromas.
