Clues to look for
Cars drive on the left. Vast desert and dry plains, with long empty gravel roads.
Driving side
Cars in Namibia drive on the left. So do Lesotho and Eswatini, which are also in Southern Africa. Fewer than a quarter of countries drive on the left, so spotting it narrows things down a lot.
Countries it's easy to confuse with Namibia
