Namibia stands out in Africa as a result of its desolate and arid landscape – a stark contrast to the flora and fauna of neighbouring countries.

Drift above the burnt red dunes of Sossusvlei by balloon, track desert-adapted elephants across inhospitable landscapes in Damaraland, and take a moment to stargaze in the absence of any light pollution.
