Overview

Lots of visitors assume Namibia's best regions are up north, near Etosha, close to the wildlife. However, it's actually the South which boasts some of the country's most iconic features and generally the best scenery. On this route you will travel through deserts, up giant sand dunes and around canyons. It's one for the desert explorer, and for them it will be hard to beat!
