Namibia is divided into 14 regions. These regions include: Omusati, Oshana, Ohangwena, Oshikoto, Kunene, Kavango East, Kavango West, Caprivi, Erongo, Otjozondojupa, Omaheke, Khomas, Hardap and Karas.
Namibia offers idyllic tropical and desert locations that are incomparable. The most spectacular landscapes for filmmakers can be found in the Namib Desert and surrounding areas. Namibia is scarcely populated, making it unique for film production; where one can travel 10km to the surrounding areas of a major city or town, and feel as if you are in the middle of nowhere. Directors such as George Miller, Roland Emmerich, Michael Bay, John Moore, Alex Kurtzman, to name but a few, have used Namibia as a backdrop for their feature films. Namibian landscapes are unique and mesmerizing; here is where Mother Nature easily transforms herself into the leading actress in your production.
Below are a few simple descriptions of what is on offer:
sheer mountains and rocky outcrops
sandy beaches with golden and volcanic coloured sand
endless belts of dunes and deserts
bounteous wild-life, bird-life and fishing options
long and winding roads through changing landscapes
sun-drenched savannah with freely roaming wildlife
forests of trees – from “petrified” to “lush”
scenic lakes, rivers and oases
abandoned ghost towns
