Namibia operates on Central Africa Time (CAT), which is 2 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC+2). The country does not observe daylight saving time, so the offset remains constant throughout the year.
All of Namibia follows the same timezone. Major cities including Windhoek, Walvis Bay, Swakopmund, and Rundu all observe CAT. Windhoek, the capital and largest city, is located in the central highlands of the country.
Namibia is home to the world's oldest desert, the Namib Desert, which is estimated to be 55-80 million years old. The country was the first in Africa to incorporate environmental protection into its constitution. Namibia has one of the lowest population densities in the world and is known for its stunning landscapes including the famous red dunes of Sossusvlei.
