Namibia is a hidden gem located on the southwest coast of Africa. This vast ancient land, which features spectacular diverse landscapes and eleven diverse cultures, is the second least populated country in the world. But that doesn’t stop the rich and famous from visiting this spectacular country. Rumor has it that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Megan Markel, had shortlisted this fascinating place as a honeymoon destination while no less than ten Hollywood movies have used the enormous and amazing Namibian desert as a movie backdrop. Thanks to the Hollywood elite and royalty that like to vacation in Namibia, the country now has a well-developed network of luxury lodges and camps that count as some of the most luxurious abodes on the continent.
Revel in the stark beauty of the Namib is the world’s oldest desert.

Soak in celestial beauties at the NamibRand Nature Reserve
An IDA International Dark Sky Reserve is a public or private stretch of land that is renowned for its exceptional number of clear night skies that enables much nocturnal enjoyment. The NamibRand Nature Reserve, with its dry, desert air is one of the naturally dark places on Earth and provides a perfect setting for stargazing. Hence it has been included in the list of the eleven certified International Dark Sky Reserves. This reserve, which is a designated conservation area, has a night sky that is devoid of pollution and is so crystal clear that stars and other celestial bodies are easily visible. The best time to visit the reserve is during a new moon when the muted light of the sky seems to make the stars sparkle even more brightly.
Spot the Big Five at the Etosha Nature Reserve
The best place, however, to view these magnificent beasts is at the country’s best park, the Etosha National Park. The park stretches for miles and encompasses diverse landscapes while providing visitors ample opportunity to spot lots of wildlife including the big guns, the Elephant, Rhino, Buffalo, Leopard, and even the Lion if you are lucky. The park has several luxury lodges and chalets and even camping ground primarily located around the park’s watering hole, one of the best spots to sight the animals at dusk when many of them head there to quench their thirst.
