Namibia offers 'staggering' variety of wildlife

The sheer number of the different species that it is possible to see in the African country of Namibia is simply "staggering", according to the destination's promotional body, making it perfect for people planning luxury safari trips.

Namibia Tourism noted on its website that people from across the world travel to the country on luxury safari holidays in order to see the natural habitats of marvellous creatures.

"From big game such as lion, elephant, giraffe, cheetah and rhino to a wealth of small game and even many endemic species like the black-faced impala - the quest to see it up close is easily the nation's top tourist pursuit," the tourism organisation opined.

"One that is rarely unfulfilled thanks to conservation efforts and an amazing network of national parks and conservancies."

People visiting Namibia on a luxury tailor made holiday might want to stay near the Skeleton Coast, which is beautiful and largely untouched by modernity.
