Here also is the world's oldest desert, Africa's second-largest canyon and the last refuge of the legendary bushmen. Highlights map showing the best sights. Helps you stay ahead of the game in Namibia's national parks. Includes 32 pages of brilliant colour wildlife photography. Adventure tourism for incorrigible adrenaline junkies and relaxed ambiers alike

  This handbook contains practical information to get around and explore Namibia, a wild and uninhabited area of southern Africa. It has been written by a team of Africa enthusiasts who have lived, worked and studied in Namibia for several years. The coverage of the guide is broadly-based encompassing both the widely-spread, established sights such as the Etosha game reserve in the north and the Fish River Canyon in the south, as well as many less well-known areas of interest. It includes: full details about transport including timetables and costs; details on how to get around the Etosha game reserve; background information on culture, history and the German colonial legacy on the Atlantic coast; information on how to hike the 6-day Fish River Canyon trial; what to take and what to leave behind; and how to explore and understand the Namib-Naukluft desert - an area of grandeur and fascination.
