Namibia at 1:1,200,000 on an indexed, waterproof and tear-resistant road map with topographic and tourist information, published by Reise Know-How as part of their highly acclaimed World Mapping Project. The map is double-sided to provide the best balance between a good scale and a convenient size sheet.

The country’s topography is presented by altitude colouring with contours, spot heights, mountain passes, and names of mountain ranges. The map also shows salt lakes and seasonal rivers. Internal administrative boundaries are shown with names of the provinces. The Caprivi Strips on an inset.

Road network includes unsurfaced local roads and 4WD tracks, and shows driving distances and locations of petrol stations. Restricted access roads and areas are clearly marked. Border crossings indicate their opening times. Railways and local airfields are also shown.

National parks and protected zones are clearly marked. Symbols highlight numerous places of interest, including UNESCO world heritage sites, churches and archaeological sites, camping sites, hot springs, viewpoints, etc. Throughout the map numerous locations of tourist accommodation are shown graded into five categories: guest farms and hunting farms; lodges; camping, rest camps and tented lodges; Namibia Wildlife Resorts; Namibia Community Based Tourism. The map has a latitude and longitude grid at intervals of 1° and index of localities. Map legend includes English.

”World Mapping Project” is an extensive series of maps at varying scales, aiming to provide coverage of countries and regions worldwide using clear, well presented cartography with both topographic and tourist information. Some titles in this series have been published in Britain by Rough Guides with the same original cartography and are listed on our website only under that imprint. However, if required, the original Reise Know-How editions can be ordered on request - please contact us by e-mail.

Sample of cartography:

Some elements of the cartography e.g. minor roads and contours are printed relatively faintly compared with other information such as major roads. Although clearly legible on the map, the lower contrast of these details has made them less obvious on the reproduction of the cartography presented here.
