Namibia is located in Southern Africa between Angola, Botswana and South Africa and has a desert climate. Namibia is the least densely populated country in Africa. As a result, nature and wildlife have plenty of space. This former German colony is a country full of exquisite contrasts. The breath-taking scenery ranges from rugged coastlines to vast deserts and from high mountains to endless plains. The famous wildlife reserves in Namibia are populated by herds of elephants, rhinos, giraffes and lions, and are further characterised by wilderness and an infinite horizon. Namibia is not without reason a popular destination for adventurous safaris. Protect yourself well against various possible diseases and avoid mosquito bites. Both malaria and dengue are prevalent in Namibia.
