One Stop Shop

Each country we visited on our overland tour had unique scenery and sights, but NAMIBIA had, by far, the most to see in terms of seeing the African animals and landscapes. I would describe it as the "one-stop-shop." Within a short drive, you can see beaches, deserts, national parks, and even massive canyons. 

Here are some pictures that we thought best capture how beautifully diverse this country is:

Grasslands of Etosha National Park

Lioness at a watering hole in Etosha National Park

Rock formations of Spitzkoppe

Beaches of the Skeleton Coast

LOGISTICAL STUFF:
Out of all the countries we visited on our 6-week overland tour, NAMIBIA was one that you could easily go without a driver and rent a car instead. It had great infrastructure and we felt that it would have been seamless to travel independently in lieu of a prepaid tour. The roads were good and they connected all the major sites including Etosha National Park in the north. You could even continue your road trip into SOUTH AFRICA, since they also have great infrastructure for tourists.
