  This updated 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 the widely spread, established sights such as the Etosha game reserve in the north and the Fish River Canyon in the south, and the 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 six-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. A 16-page colour wildlife section is included.

  Namibia is one of the word's true wildernesses; a land of symmetrical sand dunes and limitless plains, where waterholes support herds of zebra, antelope and elephant, and where you might glimpse the rare black rhino. 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
