Running through the heart of the country is a spine of mountains that creates glorious scenery. Namibia is the perfect introduction to Africa, and if you are planning to Africa, this is the best place to start your trip. There are plenty of places to visit and views to admire in Namibia.
Etosha National Park

Sossusvlei
It is a truly breathtaking place located in the Namib-Naukluft National Park. It is a prehistoric river bed that is surrounded by vast red dunes. It has some of the tallest dunes on the planet that creates an otherworldly view. Another most underrated place in the Naukluft National Park is the incredible coastline where the Atlantic Ocean meets the endless Namibian desert.
Spitzkoppen Lodge
It is located in the Brandberg and Erongo Mountains. It provides a breathtaking view of Namibia’s natural beauty. It is about a five-hour drive away from Windhoek, the capital of Namibia.
Remote Wilderness
Nambia is so vast and sparsely populated that you may feel like the last man on Earth. That is the effect of the country’s barren land and sand-swept coastline. From the Skeleton Coast to the Angolan border, you will find multiple shipwrecks that only enhance this feeling of remoteness. If that’s not enough, there’s Kalahari desert and Nyae National park.
