Introduction
Tourism in Namibia has a strong focus on nature. 'Cultural tourism' or
'ethnic tourism' is there, but on the margins of nature-based tourism.
Wildlife parks and beautiful landscapes are the main attractions here.
The Fish River Canyon, the Namib Naukluft Desert and of course
Etosha National Park are amongst the highlights of Namiba. It is a
country with good infrastructure and there are plenty of high quality
guest farms, hunting farms and lodges where tourists can have an
'African experience: Wildlife is numerous, also outside the parks and
in conservation areas. In a comfortable setting, tourists can go trophy
hunting or for game drives in the parks, conservation areas and on
farms. In a cheaper setting, camping tourism has evolved.
