I initially assume that I will travel about 4-5 thousand kilometers. There are a few points on the map that absolutely cannot be missed. These are places for which Namibia is famous. But to avoid being too banal, I also have a few other ideas. People who know even a little about the subject know that the best way is to rent a 4×4 car with a tent on the roof.

In Namibia, you cannot sleep outside of designated campsites. Of course, for safety reasons. That is why it is better not to pitch tents on the ground. When it is winter in Europe, it is summer there, with a specific rainy season. And that is when I would like to start the adventure, even if it is too hot and too wet.

The Republic of Namibia is a country in southwestern Africa. It covers an area of ​​824,292 km² and is inhabited by 2,803,660 people (2024).

The country is located on the Atlantic Ocean. The terrain is mainly highlands, diversified by mountain ranges. The climate is arid, and a large part of the country is covered by deserts – in the west, along the coast, the Namib Desert (from which the country’s name comes), in the east – the Kalahari; the remaining central part of the country is covered by savannas.

Namibia is a republic with a presidential system, and the capital and largest city is Windhoek, located in the central part of the country. The population density is 3.4 people / km². Namibia is one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world, right after Mongolia.

The country was colonized by Europeans in the second half of the 19th century. In 1884, German South-West Africa was created, with an area corresponding to the modern state, except for the enclave around the port city of Walvis Bay, which had been annexed by the British a few years earlier. These were not good years for the inhabitants.
