Nambia's wide open spaces have been sculpted by wind, rain, mist and sun into visions that remain etched in your memory for as long as you live. This vast land is unlike any other.Sprawling across more than 800,000 square kilometers on Africa's Atlantic seaboard in the south-west cornor of the continent, it bestows a sense of infinite freedom. With two square kilometer of space for every citizen, that exhilerating sense of freedom follows you everywhere on a "Journey through Nambia" --from the lush green woodlands of the north to the mists of the eeire Skeleton Coast, where the sand and rocks are littered with the rusting skeletons of countless shipwrecks and a fortune in diamonds lies beneath the savage terrain. In this timeless, primeval land, mankind remains a constant intruder--lured ever onwards by horizons of unsurpassed beauty: gaunt mountains, rocky deserts, endless plains and a wealth of rare and fasincating wildlife.
