If we had to pick just one place in Africa to photograph, it would have to be Namibia.
With its limitless horizons, stark landscapes, surprising wildlife, and surreal views, Namibia holds endless visual treasures for the landscape photographer. A land of contrasts and extremes, few other countries can match Namibia’s sheer beauty.
From the abandoned houses of Kolmanskop, to the dramatic sand dunes and dead trees of the Sossusvlei, to the jaw-dropping Fish River Canyon, the variety of otherworldly scenes seems endless. With so many iconic photography locations on offer, it’s no surprise that Namibia can claim a lofty spot on a photographer’s bucket list of awe-inspiring photographic locations.
