This is a Namibia-1on1 Information Site: and is 1 of a package of 7 associated and interlinked information sites that we have designed to provide you with information that will help you to plan your vacation to suit both your financial and time budgets. The sites' layouts are logical, user friendly and functional. It's never been so easy to find information about Namibia Tourism. Us web browsers tend to skip and jump around sites, we want the info quickly. OK! I'm a bit like that myself, but before you go grass-hopping around, be aware that there is one mighty heap of info on these sites, and it is all very relevant if you are planning a visit here, so it's worth spending that bit longer and doing your research here with care. If you want to see tips on getting bargains while travelling, check out this great site.
Plenty of Inter-Site Navigation Options:
There's a vast amount of information on the Namibia-1on1 group of sites and you'll find yourself constantly moving between the various sites. You have plenty of options for returning to the previous pages that you were studying. Please familiarise yourself with the page navigation bar buttons. For example:

Namibia is a magnificently vast, rugged and seemingly empty land. There are areas where you can drive for over 250km (155mile) between service stations and camp in places having your nearest neighbour over 100km (62mile)away. You will see the cloudless and the bluest of blue skies for many months of the year, and if visiting in the rainy season, hopefully, a welcome afternoon downpour. Namibia is a country of breathtaking contrast. From the tropical forests of the Caprivi where the Okavango and great Zambezi are home to crocodiles, hippo, and the herds of migrating elephants - to the unique lifestyle of the creatures of the Namib Desert that survive for months without 'drinking' water. On the eastern border with Botswana the red sands of the Kalahari flow onto the central savannah where,on the large ranches, the cattle and sheep graze contentedly alongside the wild game animals. And further south the herds of Oryx, kudu, springbok and wild desert horses roam freely across the land. On the west coast you will find the legendary and forbidding Skeleton Coast and it is here that desert lions go down to the sea to pray upon unwary seals as they bask on the shoreline. Inland the elusive desert elephants of the Namib, the largest in the world, make their daily trek of up to sixty kilometres in search for food and water. And amongst all of this 'Africa' you will find a relatively orderly, peaceful, democratic society. A country having modern facilities and clean towns while allowing and respecting the ancient cultures and values of others, such as the Himba tribes-people of the Kaokoveld. It is in this land that you will discover the beauty and experience the diversity, the remoteness, and the wonder of Africa at its best.
Thank you for being here.
