About Namibia

In preparation for the trip, I've been reading up on Namibia. Here are a few interesting facts:

Namibia...
  • is home to the Namib Desert (the oldest desert in the world). 
  • hosts the largest cheetah population in the world. 
  • gained independence from South Africa in 1990.
  • is the first nation in the world to write protection of the environment into the national constitution.
