Page "Geography of Namibia" Paragraph 4

The Central Plateau runs from north to south, bordered by the Skeleton Coast to the northwest, the Namib Desert and its coastal plains to the southwest, the Orange River to the south, and the Kalahari Desert to the east.

The Central Plateau is home to the highest point in Namibia at Königstein elevation.

Within the wide, flat Central Plateau is the majority of Namibia ’ s population and economic activity.

Windhoek, the nation ’ s capital, is located here, as well as most of the arable land.

Although arable land accounts for only 1 % of Namibia, nearly half of the population is employed in agriculture.
