Globetrotter, 2006 Not overly detailed, but OK for general use One look at the map you'd probably think there aren't many roads in Namibia.

I picked up a different map while I was there and it was much more accurate. ...             Namibia Travel Map (Globetrotter Travel Map) Globetrotter Globetrotter, 2008             Sands Of Silence: On Safari In Namibia7 reviews Peter H.
