NAMIBIA Namibia | Coastal Region | Fauna, Flora & Avifauna | Stamps 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 of inventing 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. Namibia, previously known as South West Africa, is bordered by South Africa in the south, Angola and Zambia in the north and Botswana and Zimbabwe in the east. The oldest desert in the world, the Namib Desert stretches along the whole west coast of the country, while the Kalahari Desert runs along its southeastern border with Botswana. The country is demarcated into 13 regions, namely the Caprivi, Kavango, Kunene, Omusati, Ohangwena, Oshana and Oshikoto regions in the north, the Omaheke. Otjozondjupa, Erongo and Khomas Regions in the central areas and the Hardap and Karas regions in the south.
