Namibia  was colonized by Britain in 1878  and Germany 1884. Between  1904 -1908 Germany carried out the first Holocaust on the original native inhabitants the Herero and Nama people. In the capital Windhoek there is little to no evidence of the Holocaust even in the National Museum. However, the colonial system and architecture are still well in tack even though the Namibia’s hold prominent positions. With a population of only 2,54 million making it the 2nd smallest populous country after Lesotho on the continent. But boosting a landmass that provides 395.19 sq km per 1,000 people. Namibia  is very westernized so you would be hard pressed  to find traditional local food and drinks as you would find in most African cities. The best of Namibia is its landscape  which you will find nowhere else.
