General information

Namibia is an enormous large and empty country. Large because of it's area (824.269km2 = more then 20 times The Netherlands) and empty because of it's inhabitants (1.500.000 people). The country is well known for it's wild reserves, deserts and it's diamonds.

Two periods are important in its relatively short history

• At the end of the previous century: the Germans rule that country for a few decades. You can still see it in Swakupmund.
• At the end of the twenties: annexation by South Africa. The Swapo fought successfully for independence. There is no apartheid these days.

The biggest tourist attractions are Etosha National Park, Namib Naukluft Park, Fish River Canyon, the Sossusvlei and the Waterberg Plateau. We visited all those places and took a lot of pictures. You can see them on the following pages.

For the future traveler we gave some tips to make your trip more comfortable.

On the next pages you can read information about the country. On every page there are a few pictures where you can click on. If you have any questions or comments about this homepage, about the pictures or about the country, don't hesitate and e-mail me.
