Behold the spectacle that is Namibia—from dandelion-colored dunes stretching into the distance to the blotted spots on a cheetah’s coat.

The largest national parks and tallest sand dunes in all of Africa. The oldest desert in the whole world. Namibia packs so much into a footprint just larger than the state of Texas that no amount of writing would do the country justice. So, let these words be your starting point: If you want to tread Sossusvlei’s timeless sands, sail the Atlantic’s waves off Swakopmund, rumble past wildebeest on a game drive in Etosha, and come face-to-face with millennia of history at Twyfelfontein, this tour’s the ticket. Want to check off South Africa, too? Stretch your trip by a few days and add the extension to lush Cape Town.
