Windhoek Car Hire | Namibia Car Rentals: Public roads in Windhoek are reasonably
well developed and well sign-posted with driving done on the left hand side
of the road. The principle towns are linked by a fairly good network of tarred
roads while the secondary roads are mostly surfaced with gravel and are suitable
for all-weather conditions. Regional and country roads range from good to poor
quality. To hire a car in Namibia, drivers should have an international drivers
license.
Public transport in Namibia is not as well established as foreign visitors may
be accustomed to, especially visitors from Europe. While this is constantly
being improved, make sure that your transport arrangements are taken care of
before you travel, to ensure a stress-free holiday in Namibia.
Transport and Travel Services available in Windhoek and Namibia. These include car rental, 4x4 and camper rental or consult with a travel agent to arrange all aspects of your South African vacation.

SOSSUSVLEI - DEADVLEI
Amongst the high dunes of the enormous sand sea there is a clay pan, which was
clearly formed by water. The pan only fills up once within several years, though,
when there has been sufficient rain in the area. The famous star dunes of Sossusvlei
tower around the depression, offering thousands of themes to photographers –
the most beautiful ones early in the morning and late in the afternoon when
light and shadow create a more three-dimensional appearance of the landscape.

FISH RIVER CANYON
The canyon of the Fish River is one of the main attractions in southern Namibia.
Many call it the second largest canyon on earth and compare it to the Grand
Canyon of the Colorado River in the US. Some argue that the Fish River Canyon
is only the second largest in Africa, after the narrow valley of the Blue Nile.

EPUPA FALLS
Naked rock rises from lush vegetation between cascades of frothy white waterfalls
– a green island in the middle of the barren brown landscape of the surrounding
mountains. The Epupa Falls are among the many attractions of Kaokoveld in the
far northwest of Namibia.

KAOKOVELD
is regarded as one of the last wild and secluded areas in Namibia – even
though tourism has increased considerably during the past years. As yet, travelling
routes concentrate on a few villages and connecting roads. The largest part
of this huge land, especially the west, is scarcely populated or not at all.
Getting there is adventurous to say the least and only possible by 4x4 vehicles.

TWYFELFONTEIN
remains one of the country’s favourable attractions and since June 2007
enjoys the status of being Namibia’s first World Heritage Site, securely
tucked away between the granites of an ancient, arid region. Its name when translated
directly, means “doubtful fountain” still has most people “doubtful”
on the true purpose of the rock art. The site is unusual in Africa as it has
both carvings (petroglyphs) and paintings (pictograms).

CAPRIVI
The Caprivi in the north-east of Namibia is a narrow strip of land, 450 km long
and up to about 100 km wide, which was added to Namibia’s main body like
an artificial limb. It was conceived on the drawing board in 1890 as a result
of a swap agreement between Imperial Germany and Great Britain. The name of
the newly acquired strip of land was chosen in honour of the German chancellor
of the time, Count Leo von Caprivi.

WINDHOEK
In downtown Windhoek it is often the many examples of German colonial architecture
under the dazzling blue African sky, which are selected as subjects for photos:
the equestrian monument commemorating the casualties of the 1904 uprising; behind
it the Alte Feste fort, lined by palm trees; Christuskirche (Christ’s
Church) in front of the well-kept gardens of Tintenpalast (Ink Palace), the
House of Parliament; and the neatly preserved railway station northwest of the
city centre.

NAMIB NAUKLUFT PARK
is the largest nature conservation area in Africa, extending between the tarred
road Aus-Lüderitz in the south and the Swakop River in the north, and from
the Atlantic coast in the west to the highland in the east.
The desert – so vast, so isolated, so inhospitable but nevertheless so
diverse, so colourful and so much alive.

KALAHARI
Embracing eastern Namibia and western Botswana, the Kalahari forms a large basin
which stretches from north-eastern Namibia down to South Africa. Lines of parallel
red dunes, usually with tufts of tall grass, are a characteristic feature. Due
to underground water gnarled old acacias can often be found in the valleys between
the dunes. As unbelievable as it may sound: this dry, inhospitable landscape
is the habitat of many animal species.

LUDERITZ
more than 100 years old, is situated on a forbidding and varied stretch of coast.
The grey Gneiss serves as an attractively austere backdrop to the town and its
buildings, some of which are gaily coloured. The history of Lüderitz fills
volumes. It is about Portuguese seafarers, British whalers and sealers, a merchant
from Bremen and German fortune-hunters.

SWAKOPMUND
Namibia's second biggest town and traditional "summer capital", is
one of the most surreal places in the country.
You approach the town through the endless, windswept expanses of the Namib Desert,
one of the world's largest wilderness areas. Greeted by the boom of the surf
on the notorious Skeleton Coast, an ever-present reminder of the treacherous
and icy Atlantic beyond the desert, you move through mist and Bavarian spires
and elaborate Germanic architecture rise into view.

BUSHMANLAND
So-called Bushmanland can roughly be divided into two areas. The western part
covers about 9,000 km² from the village of Omatako, east of Grootfontein,
to Tsumkwe. Approximately 4,500 members of the !Kung San live in this area.
In 2003 they established N#a Jaqna, a communal conservancy which uses income
derived from tourism for nature conservation and community development. Another
conservancy, Nyae Nyae, is situated in eastern Bushmanland.

DAMARALAND
The region is well known for its minerals and semi-precious stones and many
Damara have turned to small-scale mining, selling their stones along the roads
leading into and out of their settlements. The majority of Damara live in the
northwestern regions of the country but others are found widely across Namibia.

NAMIB DESERT
Red dunes, vast plains and rugged mountains make up the serene landscape between
the inhospitable Namib Desert and the escarpment of the interior plateau. The
seasons supply gentle dots of colour - sometimes whitish-yellow, sometimes light
green grass. The area is considered one of the oldest desert in the world, having
endured arid or semi-arid conditions for at least 55 million years
