Safari summary
Namibia offers space, silence, and the chance to really get away from it all: it’s the second least densely populated country on the planet, with only two people per square kilometer. You can dine and enjoy the Namibia best produce Wine in the Region surrounded by landscapes so vast and empty that at times you feel like you’re on the edge of the planet. In an overpopulated world, there aren’t many places left where you can immerse yourself as deeply in remote wilderness areas as in Namibia
