go! Namibia

An extensive accommodation guide lists places to stay from the Caprivi to Sossusvlei – whether you love wild camping or more luxurious lodgings, there’ll be a spot for you! This year we feature an epic Namib 4×4 trip, Swakopmund and Walvis Bay’s finest restaurants, what goes down at the Grootfontein Agricultural Show (everything…) and what to do in Windhoek when the sun goes down (have a sundowner). The guide includes travel diaries of a group of fishing buddies on the Skeleton Coast, a couple hitch-hiking barefoot across the country, two mates motorbiking through the wild north, and a couple of “oldies” travelling in style and comfort through Damaraland, Kaokoland and Etosha National Park. There’s also an article on how to pack for the Fish River Canyon hike, plus profiles of some of Namibia’s most colourful characters, from lodge owners and radio personalities to graffiti artists and dune bug fundis.
