Explore Live Cams in Namibia

Namibia stretches along the Atlantic coast of southwest Africa, covering about 318,770 square miles (825,615 km²), and it is one of the least densely populated countries on Earth. The Namib Desert runs the length of its coast, the Kalahari spreads across the east, and in the far northeast the Zambezi and other rivers bring water to green floodplains.

Its most famous natural landmark is Sossusvlei, where some of the tallest sand dunes on Earth glow red at sunrise, and in nearby Deadvlei, dead camelthorn trees hundreds of years old still stand on a white clay pan. In the south, the Fish River Canyon is the largest canyon in Africa. The oryx, or gemsbok, stands on the coat of arms.

Namibia has the largest wild cheetah population on Earth, and desert-adapted elephants and lions roam the dry northwest. Huge colonies of Cape fur seals crowd the beaches of the Skeleton Coast, and lions, elephants, zebras and black rhinos gather at the waterholes of Etosha National Park.

Did You Know? In 1990 Namibia became one of the first countries in the world to write protection of the environment into its constitution.
