Southern Namibia

Introducing Southern Namibia

Southern Namibia takes in everything from Rehoboth in the north to the Orange River along the South African border, and westward from the Botswana border to the Diamond Coast. The Central Plateau is characterised by wide open country, and the area’s widely spaced and largely uninspiring towns function mainly as commercial and market centres. Further south, however, the landscape opens up into seemingly endless desert plains, ranges and far horizons – and the surprising Fish River Canyon forms a spectacular gash across the landscape.
