This dreamy little country is so visually striking it leaves you breathless (along with the dry winds rolling off the dunes).

The vast Namib Desert is an unforgiving panorama of haunting beauty, it's red sands sing under the bluest of skies. Ill-fated ships line the lonely south-western coastline, their bare metal bones protruding from the plains. Yet there’s plenty of life in the animal-abundant Etosha National Park and the Kalahari.
