  Namibia is a country of contrasting landscapes, from the world's oldest desert to rugged mountains, dense woodland and lily-carpeted waterways. For the visitor, its top attractions include world-famous Etosha National Park, sanctuary to thousands of typical plains animals; Namib-Naukluft Park, a fascinating desert area of endless gravel plains, a vast dune sea and rugged mountains; Fish River Canyon, the second largest canyon in the world; and Swakopmund, the country's prime coastal resort, with its beautifully preserved colonial buildings. The Globetrotter Road Atlas of Namibia caters specifically for the needs of tourists and visitors, with all places of interest, including scenic routes, National Parks and key sites, clearly highlighted. The town and city plans of the major centres pinpoint key buildings and places of interest as well as where to stay. Distance and climate charts enable travellers to plan their visits, while stunning photographs evoke the atmosphere of the country. Maps are complemented by texts revealing the history of the region and other notable facts. An extended index helps you pinpoint the town or area you want to visit.
