Namibia is a vast, arid wilderness of rolling sand dunes, pounded by the Atlantic Ocean. Within this haunting landscape of endless desert and plain is a great diversity of wildlife which has adapted to life in this harsh environment. Though scarcely populated, this dramatic country has a well-maintained infrastructure which makes it relatively easy to explore. Namibia is a land of contrasts. Numerous caves shelter a wealth of rock paintings.
