Maps of Namibia: two styles
See Namibia in different ways, with two different styles of maps: a Google map and a curated Reference map.
Namibia is vast – and its low rainfall makes much of its geology exceptionally clear. Zoom into the areas and then the lodges on our maps for some amazing views of what the country is really like!
At this scale, note the apricot-orange in the south-west: the Namib Desert. Then double-click a few times to zoom in closer – and see the extraordinary patterns of the dunes themselves. Then look at the sharp, curved northern edge of the desert, where the Kuiseb River halts the march of the dunes northwards.
Double-click near “Etosha National Park”, and immediately you’ll spot the huge saltpan at the heart of Etosha.
Click onto any of the markers, and follow the links in the bubbles, for maps of these areas with precise locations for the various safari camps and lodges.
