Home of one of the oldest deserts in the world; Namibia is a country whose landscape perfectly characterizes the country itself.

The stark, vast arid landscape is full of natural beauty, teeming with evidence of millions of years of evolution and history. The different geographical regions of Namibia, each has its own character and each offer tourist a unique experience unrivalled anywhere else in Africa, if not the world.

The Namibian landscape consists generally of five geographical areas, each with characteristic abiotic conditions and vegetation with some variation within and overlap between them: the Central Plateau, the Namib Desert, the Escarpment, the Bushveld, and the Kalahari Desert. Although the climate is generally extremely dry, there are a few exceptions. The cold, north-flowing Benguela current accounts for some of the low precipitation.
