Namibia, a country in southwest Africa whose western border is the Atlantic Ocean. It shares land borders with Zambia, Angola to the north, Botswana to the east and South Africa to the south and east. It is distinguished by the Namib Desert along its Atlantic Ocean coast. The large, arid Namib Desert has resulted in Namibia being overall one of the least densely populated countries in the world. Namibia has a population of 2.1 million people and a stable multi-party parliamentary democracy. Agriculture, herding, tourism and the mining industry – including mining for gem diamonds, uranium, gold, silver and base metals – form the basis of its economy.
The country is home to diverse wildlife, including a significant cheetah population. The capital, Windhoek, and coastal town Swakopmund contain German colonial-era buildings such as Windhoek's Christuskirche, built in 1907. In the north, Etosha National Park’s salt pan draws game including rhinos and giraffes.
We visited here in June 2017.
