The huge continent is home to unparalleled geological wonders, incredible wildlife, and rich culture, and camping is a great way to see the best of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Namibia has quickly become one of the most popular camping destinations in Africa, due to its well-developed network of parks, reserves, and lodges, which makes it a great place to start for first-time travellers to Africa. Its bustling towns stand in stark contrast to the immense vistas you\u2019ll see as you drive towards the desert. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite its burgeoning tourism infrastructure, the amount of planning required for a camping trip in Namibia shouldn\u2019t be underestimated \u2013 you definitely don\u2019t want to be unprepared for its scorching temperatures and bare desert landscapes, and you\u2019ll want to plan your routes well to make sure you see the best sights. Joining a tour is a great way to alleviate some of the headaches of planning while making sure you hit all these must-see places on any Namibian tour itinerary. With the right preparation and guidance, it\u2019ll be the most adventure-filled, eye-opening trip you\u2019ll go on, and by the end of it, you\u2019ll be itching to keep exploring on your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe width=\"700\" height=\"394\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VPqq8PV6tnI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fish River Canyon <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This canyon is the second largest in the world (after the Grand Canyon), and home to some of the best hikes in southern Africa. This might be your first sight of the diverse Namibian flora that flourish despite harsh desert climates. One of the biggest takeaways of any trip to Namibia is the importance of conservation \u2013 it\u2019s taken very seriously. Hikes here can quickly become challenging thanks to the canyon\u2019s varying terrain, so it\u2019s guaranteed to give you an exciting workout alongside stunning canyon views. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"453\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Fish-River-Canyon-min.jpg\" alt=\"A car driving down a dirty road towards Fish River Canyon, Namibia\" class=\"wp-image-19746 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Fish-River-Canyon-min.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Fish-River-Canyon-min-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 680px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 680\/453;\" \/><figcaption>Driving towards the Fish River Canyon<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Namib Desert<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Namib is the world\u2019s oldest desert, and, though it\u2019s home to more endemic species than any other desert in the world, few humans live there. On the drive, you\u2019ll see gravel roads give way to breathtaking desert sunsets. Start your desert adventure by exploring the desert dunes and learning about how the few inhabitants of this vast desert survive its harsh conditions. Then, climb the massive Dune 45 and check out the view from the top, or board a hot air balloon to see the desert from an even higher vantage point. One of the major attractions in the Namib Desert is Sossusvlei, a light-coloured salt and clay flat surrounded by contrasting vibrant red sand dunes. Another is Kolmanskop, a once-flourishing, now-abandoned diamond outpost that is slowly being reclaimed by the desert. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Namibia4-min-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"A photo of a person's legs in the desert in Namibia\" class=\"wp-image-19121 lazyload\" width=\"680\" height=\"454\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Namibia4-min-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Namibia4-min-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Namibia4-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Namibia4-min.jpg 1080w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 680px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 680\/454;\" \/><figcaption>Kick back in the Namib Desert! | <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/Hc6tFRhNV3g\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"\u00a9 Peter Syme\/Unsplash (opens in a new tab)\">\u00a9 Peter Syme\/Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Swakopmund <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In this Namibian coastal town, the desert sand transitions into a beach, and sand dunes are taken over by German-style buildings and seaside promenades.

For an adrenaline rush, go quad-biking, sand-boarding, and sand-skiing on the edge of the desert, and sail, surf, and kayak along the ocean shore. There\u2019s no shortage of active things to do in Swakopmund, but for something less thrill-inducing, go visit the Cape fur seal colony nearby, or the flamingos at Walvis Bay if you wanted to check more animal sightings off your list.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"453\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Swakopmund-min.jpg\" alt=\"A market stall selling necklaces, dolls, and other products in Swakopmund, Namibia\" class=\"wp-image-19747 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Swakopmund-min.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Swakopmund-min-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 680px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 680\/453;\" \/><figcaption>Enjoy some local shopping in Swakopmund<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Brandberg Mountains<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Brandberg mountains are the fiery landmarks of the Namibian landscape.

Painted by bushmen, there are over 45,000 rock paintings in the area, so these archaeological treasures won\u2019t be hard to spot.

Etosha National Park is named for the salt pan that lies in its center. It\u2019s a mysterious chalky spectre when dry, and a magnet for the park\u2019s wildlife when flooded by rain. The park plays an important wildlife conservation role, and is home the largest population of the endangered black rhinoceros. You\u2019ll also be able to catch rare glimpses of lions, impalas, and maybe even cheetahs and leopards, especially if you stay near any of the park\u2019s numerous waterholes. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Namibia2-min-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"A rhino in Etosha National Park\" class=\"wp-image-19119 lazyload\" width=\"680\" height=\"454\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Namibia2-min-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Namibia2-min-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Namibia2-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Namibia2-min.jpg 1080w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 680px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 680\/454;\" \/><figcaption>Will you be lucky enough to spot rhinos in Etosha National Park? | <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/1Y4JymwfMBA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"\u00a9 Jonathan Rusch\/Unsplash (opens in a new tab)\">\u00a9 Jonathan Rusch\/Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Windhoek <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A trip to Namibia wouldn\u2019t be complete without a stop at its capital city at some point in the tour.
