Hi Miss Cellania (may I just say that I thoroughly enjoy your links)

As in the rest of the World there are very few wild Cheetahs left, however Namibia does have one of the largest populations of wild Cheetahs and you will find them in game parks across the country, ranging from the state owned Etosha National Park to various private game farms and lodges. The headquarters of the Cheetah Conservation Fund are also located in Namibia, this organisation recently won a global award for environmental innovation.

As a daily Mental Floss reader from Namibia you can imagine my joy when I logged on today to find an article about my home country. I can only tell you that apart from the main tourist attractions listed on the site Namibia has so much more to offer any visitor, from game viewing to dolphin cruises, hot-air balloon trips over the desert to quad-biking in the dunes; there truly is something for everyone here.

But let me stop doing the Namibia Tourism Boards job for them. Oh, one final note, Shiloh was born in Namibia but Brangelina have not (as yet) adopted a Namibian child. haha

Absolutely amazing. I may have to alter my “no travel to Africa” clause.

Geoffrey Jenkins used Namibia as the settings for several of his adventure/nautical/spy novels

Now I know why Angelina Jolie chose Namibia. It’s gorgeous! It now tops New Zealand as my ultimate place to visit.

Hey, I may have to buy that issue! My mother used to live in Namibia when she was in the Peace Corps a few years ago.
