Namibia once locked in the very heart of Gondwana, now lay on the western littoral of Africa. When the fireworks from the throes of continental separation subsided, large volcanoes survived as mountains, like the Brandberg and Spitzkop . From that time and before Namibia has ghost rivers left behind when the ice age glaciers crawled across the land, it has the tracks of dinosaurs embedded in sandstone where they once walked and the coast which originated simultaneously with the Atlantic ocean when primordial forces changed the face of the planet. With its surface area of 824,268sqkm, Namibia is a vast country, it's more than three times the size of Great Britain and twice that of Germany. It is situated on the south-western Atlantic coast of the African sub continent, bordering on Angola, Botswana and South Africa. In the far north-east is the Caprivi strip, an elongated pan handle consisting of tropical riverine swamp lands also bordered by Zimbabwe and Zambia.
