Namibia is indeed a country of abundant sunshine, wonderful scenery and unspoilt nature. Since the independence of the country in March 1990 only an atmosphere of peace and tranquility reigns in the whole country. The most important neighbours are Angola and Zambia in the north, Botswana and Zimbabwe in the east and South-Africa in the south. Since 1990 the number of visitors to Namibia has more than trebled, the receipts even quadrupled. The tourism industry in Namibia is based on wildlife and nature, contrasting landscapes, friendly inhabitants and already a well-developed tourist infrastructure.
Transport is reliable, efficient and even cheap.
Namibia has more kilometers of road per head of population than any other African country. Tourists have, in all regions, a wide choice of hotels, guest farms and lodges. Not only hotels but all other accomodation like rest camps, caravan parks, safari companies, are graded by the government according to the services offered. In the near future the industry will further be developed in less popular but certain not less interesting regions. It's also important to remark that the Ministry is making a big effort to protect the environment.
