NAMIBIA

Namibia has some of the wildest terrain on earth: the tallest dunes, vast coastline, rugged mountains and immeasurable desert. Some of the best safari experiences on the continent can be had at Etosha National Park, then relax in the Namib desert in a luxury thatched chalet with private plunge pool and rooftop for stargazing. Early morning, enjoy a sunrise over the red Sossusvlei dunes in a hot air balloon or for the adventurous, try sandboarding off a 300-ft peak. For more wildlife, visit the Skeleton Coast where Cape fur seals frolic along the shore.
