Namibia and Windhoek Backpacker Hostels

Namibia is a vast country. Backpacker hostels can mainly be found in the major centres such as Windhoek and Swakopmund. Namibian hostels are of a high standard.

Namibia with its scenic beauty, the rich wildlife, its interesting history and the friendly people has developed into an attractive travel destination.

Geography and Climate:
Namibia is one of the most arid regions in Africa. The extensive sand dunes of the Namib Desert, bare of any vegetation and up to 300 kilometres wide, stretch along the whole length of the coast. To the east of this coastal desert belt, a mountain range strongly fissured and with sparse plant life, rises up to 2000 meters and more. Further east, the mountain ranges gradually lower into a vast plateau. Here, the landscape is characterized by endless 'thornvelds' and open bushland.

People:
Namibia is one of the least densely populated countries in the world…. 2 inhabitants per square kilometre. In comparison: there are around 200 inhabitants per square kilometre in central Europe.
