Namibia never fails to enthral its visitors, to charge the fantasies
and imaginations of narrators in their efforts to aptly describe
the many-facetted grandeur and harsh splendour of this desert
country. So many words have been written and told, and still poets
do not tire to invent attributes to do justice to its unique,
ever-varying magnificence.
Namibia is known for its contrasting landscapes. The desolate
Namib Desert is said to be the oldest in the world, with its high
dunes and awe-inspiring sense of space. Summer (October-April)
Average interior temperatures range from 20C-34C during the day.
Temperatures above 40C are often recorded in the extreme north
and south of the country.

in Namibia and can be used freely to purchase goods and services.
Traveller's cheques and foreign currency can be exchanged during
normal banking hours (MON-FRI 09:00-15:30 & SAT 09:00-11:00)
