RETURN TO TOP

Overview

NAMIBIA is a truly arid country and in this lies it’s beauty and charm. Add to this the survival of wildlife in harsh environments, the unusual landscapes, the fascinating cultures of the Bushmen and Himba and the blend of other races, and you have a country whose photographic potential and unique features have captured an audience of constant visitors.

The Namib is the oldest desert in the world and stretches along the full length of the western part of Namibia. The adaptations that the desert fauna and flora have undergone make for a fascinating tale of survival.

Windhoek is the capital of Namibia from where most tours start. Popular destinations north of Windhoek include Namibia’s top wildlife attraction, Etosha National Park and the Damaraland region which includes the rock art and magnitude of the Brandberg Massif, the mystical inselbergs of Spitzkoppe, the rock engravings and mountain magic of Twyfelfontein and the wildlife and wilderness of Palmwag and the Etendeka Mountains. The wilderness areas of the Erongo region are located below Damaraland.

Along the northwestern seaboard lie the charming coastal town of Swakopmund and the Skeleton Coast which conjures up images of a coastline littered with shipwrecks and human bones. Further north in Kaokoland the nomadic Himba tribes can often be seen and vast wilderness areas occur from Purros, the Marienfluss and Hartmann’s Valleys to the Epupa Falls.

Northeast of Etosha you will find Bushmanland, the more tropical Kavango region and the rapidly growing wildlife parks of Caprivi which form an extension of Botswana’s Okavango Delta.

Southwest of Windhoek lies the ever popular Namib Naukluft Park where visitors flock to see the awesome dunes of Sossusvlei. Further south you will find the massive Fish River Canyon, the Tiras Mountains around Aus where wild horses roam, the diamond ghost town of Kolmanskop and the small seaside town of Luderitz.

Along the eastern part of Namibia lies the Kalahari, a semi-desert region that sustains a diverse range of wildlife.

You will love the range of highly original lodges and camps throughout Namibia, set in beautiful locations and offering diverse activities.

Embark on an unforgettable 14-day journey through the breathtaking landscapes of Namibia and Botswana, including the stunning Caprivi Strip and the iconic Victoria Falls.

Experience the thrill of spotting the Big Five Wildlife while traveling our comfortable air-conditioned 4x4 vehicles with expert guides. Discover the wonders of Sossusvlei, climb the towering sand dunes, and witness the remarkable wildlife at Etosha National Park.

From the vibrant culture at the Living Damara Cultural Museum to the playful Cape Cross Fur Seal Colony, this road trip adventure promises to leave you in awe of Mother Nature's finest achievements!

Spend the day on a guided tour and explore Victoria Falls, ONE of THE 7 WONDERS of the World.
