Finish-of-Summer season Roadtrip in…Namibia?

Regardless of being the second most sparsely populated country on the planet, Namibia is adventurously drivable, intensely gorgeous, and maybe even a bit luxurious.

That’s the gist of a recent travel write-up in the Guardian, which recounts a 12-day loop trip by way of the south of the country. Though the roads differ from fresh asphalt to what the author describes as “boulders,” the route is liberally stocked with guest lodges, ranging from sleeping bags beneath the stars to Swiss-educated chefs.

And of course, all through the country you’re faced with extraordinary landscapes (like the Fish River Canyon) and unique African desert wildlife.

The author of this piece, even though charged with the driving, went with a guide for an all-inclusive value of roughly $3,700 per particular person. TheExpeditioner.com would like to hear from an individual who’s done it independently. Leave a comment if you have!
