• Namibia attractions recommended:

1、Windhoek

Windhoek, the capital of Namibia, is known as the cleanest garden capital in Africa, with the European charm of the Christian church with rounded arches and the Germanic style castles, and the rich continental style in the flower cluster.

There are large supermarket complexes, star hotels, and many local mansion communities ...... Of course, you may encounter homeless people who ask for your belongings, so it is necessary to avoid traveling alone at night and keep an eye on your belongings.

2、Sossusvlei Red Desert

The oldest red desert on earth was formed tens of millions of years ago, with the world's highest sand dunes, brilliantly colored deserts, and the unrealistic Valley of Death. You can bring your own tent, sleep in your car, or pay a little more to stay in a camp hotel with beds and water.

In addition to see the sunrise and sunset places are far apart, see the sunset location near the entrance of the scenic camp, is not beautiful, is not recommended to go, see the sunrise dunes need to get up early to start, but also need to climb up a very high dune, be prepared for the heart.

3、Skeleton Coast

There is a white desert between the Namib Desert and the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, and this stretch of coastline is jokingly called the "Skeleton Coast" by the Portuguese crew. Under the sunlight, it is exceptionally desolate yet full of fantastical beauty.

4、Etosha National Park

In Etosha National Zoo, the primitive and rustic natural ecology is bleak and magnificent, and flocks of rare and exotic animals are relaxed and at ease. In such a primitive and wild environment, you will feel the magic and magic of nature, especially the children will be an eye-opener and have an important educational significance in raising awareness of wildlife and conservation.

5、Red Mud Tribe Villages

The Simba tribe is the last people in Africa to maintain a primitive ecology, covered with red skin glowing in the sun, strange attire dressing, topless. Some tribes are gradually becoming commercialized, you need to pay for taking photos and will also sell you souvenirs. My advice is that you must be prepared, the primitive appearance does not mean that the ideology is still backward and simple, it is not recommended to give local children sweets and gifts for no reason.

6、Decadent Fontainebleau

Decadent Fontainebleau is located in Damaraland in northwest Namibia. It is this relatively closed semi-desert area nurtured the entire southern Africa, more than 2,000 open-air rock carving murals scattered in the brick-red canyon is the world's most spectacular rock carving mural site.
