Namibia: The Bradt Travel Guide, Second Edition McIntyre, Chris

Namibia's popularity as a safari and adventure-activity destination has taken off exponentially, with a corresponding increase in the range of options available to travelers. A thorough update of accommodations and activities in game parks and towns alike is provided in this second edition, with descriptions of guest farms, lodges, and bush camps being exceptionally personal and comprehensive. The picturesque capital of Windhoek is covered in detail, but the main bulk of this exhaustive guide is given to the pristine yet accessible wilderness of Namibia--from the desolation of the Skeleton Coast and awesome Namib Desert to the lush Kavango and Caprivi Strip in the east. Guidance on visiting bushman villages, local culture, and eco-travel is provided. Desert activities for the adventurous include dune boarding, ballooning, and quad biking. Some pioneering, self-drive routes with GPS coordinates have been added to this highly recommended guide.
