Namibia Safaris

Namibia offers an African adventure like no other. Wind through sun-baked deserts of towering red dunes, travel past shipwrecks on the wave-battered Skeleton Coast and navigate through canyon-speckled plains carved with prehistoric rock art. Along the way, you’ll discover Namibia’s unique treasures, be it vast salt pans decorated with petrified trees, million-star-studded skies or colonial German seaside towns where you can sip Bavarian beer and gorge on bratwurst. Best of all, you can traverse this eye-popping wilderness at your own pace on a 4×4, self-drive road trip or opt for a private guided tour that’s tailored for you. 

However, it’s the warm encounters with Namibia’s diverse people that will really make your trip. One day you could be weaving makalani-palm baskets in an Ovambo homestead; the next, making fire with Himba women clad in signature ochre body paint. Stop to meet the original custodians of the Kalahari, the semi-nomadic, spear-hunting San people, who descend from some of the earth’s oldest humans. 

Then there’s the kaleidoscopic wildlife. You can spend untold hours on dolphin-spotting cruises, searching for desert-adapted beasts and watching animals mingle around Etosha’s waterholes. Take guided safaris to track endangered species, including rhinos and big cats blessed by Namibia’s stellar conservation schemes.
