Officially Known as the Republic of Namibia and touted as the starting place for exploration for non Africans.

Located in Southern Africa, Namibia is a country in southern Africa  bordered by South Africa, Botswana, Angola, Zambia and the Atlantic Ocean.

Although it does not border Zimbabwe, less than 200 metres of the Zambezi River (essentially a small bulge in Botswana to achieve a Botswana/Zambia micro-border) separates the two countries. Namibia gained independence from South Africa on 21 March 1990, following the Namibian War of Independence.
