Reiseführer Namibia / Footprint

Wildly beautiful, this ancient land is one of the finest destinations for wildlife viewing in southern Africa. Its opportunities for adventure are almost limitless. Footprint's Namibia Handbook will guide you from the red sands of the Kalahari to the sunken hulks resting on the Skeleton Coast, via the fascinating museums and buildings of Windhoek.
