NAMIBIA: BEST 2015 TRAVEL DESTINATION IN THE WORLD – runner up
NAMIBIA: B E S T 2015 TRAVEL destination in the world
According to the trustworthy, prominent global travel company: Lonely planet
NAMIBIA, the Land of the Brave, has been named the runner up BEST TRAVEL destination to visit in the world in 2015 by Lonely Planet. Singapore was announced the world’s number one country to travel to during 2015.
Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel 2015 has come out with a list of top 10 destinations in different categories such as best countries to visit, best regions to visit, best cities to visit and many more such guiding lists for travel.
Namibia is celebrating 25 years of independence during 2015 and our country has made ground breaking progress in sustainable development. Turning 25 and hitting its stride…
Did you know:
Namibia was the first country to include protection of its environment in its constitution.
“Namibia empowers local communities to contribute. With stories of habitat loss elsewhere in Africa dominating the news, word of Namibia’s conservation successes has not gained traction. Explore it before you have to share it,” the travel company says.
Namibia possesses some of the most stunning landscapes in Africa with inspiring deserts and mountains, wildlife and people that all make a visit to our country a worthwhile experience and great adventure. Natural wonders such as that mighty gash in the earth at Fish River Canyon and the wildlife utopia of Etosha National Park enthrall, but it’s the lonely desert roads where mighty slabs of granite rise out of swirling desert sands that will sear themselves in your mind. It’s like a coffee-table book come to life as sand dunes in the world’s oldest desert meet the crashing rollers along the wild Atlantic coast. Among all this is a German legacy evident in the cuisine and art nouveau architecture, and in festivals such as Windhoek’s legendary Oktoberfest.
Namibia also hosts the world’s largest numbers of black rhino and cheetah and unlike elsewhere on the African continent the populations and range of lions and giraffes are expanding.
Some (but not limited to) of the “life-changing” experiences for visitors to Namibia are – despite a trophy hunting safari with Kowas Hunting Safaris – photographic safaris could be considered climbing to the top of a dune at Sossusvlei at sunrise or staying awake into the late night hours at the Etosha National Park and be enthralled by the night-time theatrics of the big-game. It is also recommended that visitors should experience the sheer beauty of the Skeleton Coast and its wildlife on a safari-flight, while a visit to the Ghost-town at Kolmanskop should not to be missed. Lonely Planet’s list of top destinations are compiled from hundreds of ideas that are submitted by its staff, authors, bloggers, travellers and tweeters which are then refined by a panel of in-house travel experts based on topicality, excitement, value and that special x-factor.
The top 10 places are chosen for their merits and the unique experiences they may offer travellers. The ten countries that were selected are Singapore, Namibia, Lithuania, Nicaragua, Ireland, Republic of Congo, Serbia, the Philippines, St Lucia and Morocco.
Namibia is the headquarters of adventure activities, so whether you’re a dreamer or love hearing the crunch of earth under your boots, travelling through Namibia will stay with you long after the wind blown away your footprint in the Namibian sand.
All you would leave behind would be footprints and friends…. only to return later again…
