Recently, my daughter and I went to Namibia for just over a week. We used a local tour agency from Penang, and they did a great job planning our itinerary.

Namibia was colonised by Germany and was known as Southwest Africa, before gaining independence in 1990. It has the highest sand dunes, and also the oldest desert – the Nabib desert – in the world. The Kalahari, meanwhile, is the second largest desert in the world, after the Sahara. This desert covers a large part of Botswana, eastern Namibia and parts of South Africa.
