This is Namibia

Namibia has a population of about 2.6 million people. English is the official language, though Afrikaans, German, Oshiwambo, and several Indigenous languages are also commonly spoken. The currency is the Namibian Dollar (NAD), which is pegged to the South African Rand. The climate is generally arid and semi-arid, with hot, dry conditions and cooler nights, especially in the desert regions. Major cities and regions include Windhoek, Swakopmund, Walvis Bay, Etosha National Park, and the Namib Desert.

Discover a land defined by vast horizons, dramatic desertscapes, and deep cultural heritage. Namibia invites travelers to experience the otherworldly dunes of Sossusvlei, the wildlife of Etosha, the rugged beauty of Damaraland, and the German colonial charm of Swakopmund. Its population is a blend of ethnic groups including the Ovambo, Herero, Himba, Nama, and Damara, each contributing unique traditions and stories. Visitors can witness the artistry of Himba adornments, the rhythms of local music, and the quiet resilience of desert life. The food reflects both African and European influences, with dishes like kapana (street-grilled meat), biltong, and freshly baked bread shared across communities.
