Namibia is a country boasting lush wilderness, imposing sand dunes and an abundance of wildlife. It is not as well known as many of its African neighbours and because of this, it can sometimes get overlooked. It is wedged between the Kalahari Desert and the South Atlantic Ocean, and it is this location which is partly responsible for its diverse terrain. The rich natural resources combined with a modern infrastructure and traditional values create a country full of contrasts.

The country has previously been governed by both Germany and South Africa, although it has been independent since 1990. There is however strong Germanic influences across the country, especially in the country’s capital Windhoek, where you will see grand colonial structures such as Tintenpalast (Parliament Building) and Christus Church.
