Namibia is located on the southeast shore of Africa. The climate is dry, even on the Atlantic coast, where the dunes of the Namib Desert provide a spectacular sight. The eastern border of Namibia with Botswana, is defined by the Kalahari Desert. Despite the dry environment the protected areas of Namibia include almost 15 percent of the land area with virtually the entire Namib Desert coastal strip under protection. These protected areas are home to cheetahs, lions, zebras, giraffes, and even elephants.
The northern part of the map includes the famous Skeleton Coast National Park. The capital city of Windhoek falls in the generous overlap area of the printed map. The south side of the map includes Namib-Naukluft National Park, the Tsau//Khaeb (Sperrgebiet) National Park, and the long border with South Africa.
