Namibia has some beautiful, unique and extraordinary scenery. Attractions abound and activities are limitless. But it's the whole journey that is the most extraordinary attraction of them all. Just driving through the country will be an experience quite unlike any you've had before. Here's our take on the top 10 best places you simply have to visit in Namibia.

Namibia is a vast, harsh, arid land of coastline, desert and mountains. But, there is life here. Go to Etosha in the winter and you could see an abundance of animals gathering at the waterholes.

The position of the sun, a surprise rain shower, even the sudden shoulder of a fellow snapper... there are so many factors and no guarantees. Time of day, light, weather, the list goes on. And yet, suddenly, you get the perfect shot.

Unlike many other African countries, Namibia is a great all year destination. The months in the dry season are the best time for game viewing whereas the wetter (green) season is better for scenery, bird watching and general photography.

Approximate driving distances and self-drive times for Namibia, Botswana, Zambia and Victoria Falls. We add plenty of time to stop for photographs, markets and comfort breaks.

If we talk about a 'fly-in safari', we mean that you'll be taking to the skies and travelling by light aircraft transfers between your destinations. Get an idea of the distances between the major highlights in Namibia and Botswana.

As vast as Namibia is, so too is the array of endless experiences and adventure to be had when visiting. The real question is what of these are the must-sees and must-dos, that you simply can't leave out.

Immerse yourself in nature. Walking or hiking in Namibia allows you to experience the landscape from a different angle and discover the hidden beauties up-close.

Ah, weather happiness. You can’t beat it. Lying in the sun; wrapped up in a coat; singing in the rain... all of the above? All at once? What the weather’s like by region in Namibia. What to expect.
