| Namibia
Namibia is a former German colony on
the western coast of southern Africa. The country
is home to some of the most productive diamond mines
in the world. Its name comes from the Namib desert,
which is believed to be the oldest desert in the
world, dating back over 55 million years. Despite
the arid enviroment, this country is still home
to some of the best game viewing on the African
continent. Most of the major species of animals
can be seen here along with a unique subspecies
of desert elephant. |
