Sights Of namibia
1. Namib Desert
The Namib Desert is one of the oldest on earth, its age is estimated by scientists at 60−80 million years. The desert amazes with the variety of its landscapes — brown weathered rocks, numerous canyons of dry rivers, huge wandering dunes and vast gravelly wastelands interspersed with tiny oases.
2. Etosha park
A huge part of Namibia is occupied by the Etosha National Park, located on the territory of the salt lake of the same name. The park is replete with ponds, around which animals gather in water: elephants, rhinos, giraffes, lions and antelopes can often be seen here.
3. Fish-River
The second largest canyon in the world after the legendary Arizona natural landmark, the Grand Canyon. Fish River Canyon, which was formed as a result of gigantic tectonic activity, has an impressive age: one hundred and fifty million years.
The city is located somewhere between the Namib desert and the "Kalahari" - an oasis of life among the endless sands. Walking through Windhoek, you can get acquainted with typical German architecture, look at the castles erected in the beginning of the XX century, visit the National Museum of Namibia, famous for a large collection of exhibits of natural history.
