Located in southwestern Africa, Namibia is most commonly known for its vast deserts, dramatic mountainscapes and breathtaking lunar-like scenery.
From the Namib Desert, one of the oldest on Earth, to Sossusvlei’s iconic red dunes, Etosha National Park’s teeming biodiversity and the Skeleton Coast’s stretching sand dunes, there is no shortage of unique ecosystems to explore. As well as generally being considered one of Africa’s safest countries to visit, Namibia is also celebrated for its forward-thinking conservation efforts.
With nearly half of its land protected and communities actively engaged through successful community conservancies, distinctive scenery combines with growing environmental stewardship to make for an increasingly exciting destination to visit.
As you travel through this unique landscape, you’ll have the chance to encounter a variety of native species, plants and animals that are naturally found only in this region. These species are key to the health of the local ecosystem, supporting biodiversity and helping maintain nature’s balance.
Many of them face threats from habitat loss, climate change, and invasive species, making conservation efforts more important than ever. By learning about and appreciating these native species, you’re also helping to protect them for future generations.

This extraordinary wetland, the largest in Argentina, is home to 30% of the biodiversity in the country including endangered species such as the pampas and marsh deer, the maned wolf and grassland birds like the strange-tailed tyrant.
In 2005, what was to become one of the largest rewilding programs in the Americas was started, with the goal of restoring keystone species that had been extirpated from Iberá through hunting and habitat loss and were extinct in the region, the Province or, in some cases, the country.
As the rewilding program developed, the cultural identity of Iberá began to recover alongside the ecosystems and natural processes, impacting a total population of 100,000 people who surround the park.
Today, Iberá stands as one of the world’s most successful ongoing conservation missions.
