With 250 000 inhabitants, Namibia's capital of Windhoek is the biggest city in the country. The attractive town lies at an altitude of 1650 metres in a beautiful valley bordered by the Eros Mountains in the north and the Auas mountains in the south. Windhoek combines the modern city architectural style with that of the German colonial era with the German influence still present today.

The Namib-Naukluft Park is Namibia's largest nature reserve, about 50.000 sqkms in size stretching along the coastline from the Swakop valley in the north, towards Luederitz in the south. Most parts of this enormous area are not accessible to man. One can only visit a small stretch north of the Kuiseb river: the Naukluft Mountains and the Sossusvlei in the central dune fields.

The Ugab Rivier marks the start of Namibia's Skeleton Coast and since 1971, it has been protected as the Skeleton Coast National Park, which stretches up to the Kunene River at the Angolan border. The southern part of this conservation area - up to Terrace Bay - is only freely accessible with a permit. The northern part can only be visited with a private safari company.
