Namibia 🇳🇦 is more than beautiful 💯

From enormous desert dunes meeting the Atlantic Ocean to vast salt pans, rugged mountains and wildlife across endless landscapes, Namibia is a land of extraordinary contrasts.

Home to the Namib, one of the world’s oldest deserts, it holds some of the planet’s highest sand dunes shaped by millions of years of wind and extreme conditions.

Along the coast, desert meets the cold Atlantic in a striking sand-and-sea junction instantly recognizable from above. Inland, Sossusvlei and Etosha reveal a different side.

This collection of photographs captures a glimpse of what makes Namibia one of Africa’s most visually remarkable places.

The country also has its own alphabet (Ge'ez script)🔤, its own time system, and its own coffee ceremony that takes hours. Ethiopia is a civilisation unto itself. 🇪🇹 — Africa at a Glance
