Namibia Safaris

welcome to the living desert.

Africa's Hauntingly Beautiful Desert.

Namibia is not the first place you might think of when planning a safari, but this land of startling contrasts, unique cultural ambiance and areas of complete isolation offers some incredible surprises. From the shipwrecks and seal colonies to enormous red sand dunes and rugged valleys and mountains – cut through by the world’s oldest desert. Blinding white saltpans and magical oases of waterways and wildlife. It is possible to discover enormous open spaces with nothing as far as the eye can see, and yet infrastructure makes self-drive safaris a very real option for more independent travellers and the country’s safe, well-functioning and friendly nature makes for an ideal family holiday.

SOSSUSVLEI

NAMIBIA

A mesmerizing natural wonder renowned for its towering red sand dunes and stark beauty. An iconic destination, nestled in the heart of the Namib Desert, Sossusvlei boasts some of the tallest sand dunes in the world, with heights reaching up to 300 meters.

The magnificent dunes, sculpted by the wind into ever-changing shapes and patterns, offer panoramic views of the surrounding desert from their summits. Nearby, the ethereal landscape of Deadvlei captivates visitors with its cracked clay pan and ghostly camelthorn trees, creating a scene that is both haunting and mesmerizing.

Explore the dunes on foot or by 4×4 vehicle. Climb the red sands to watch the sunrise or sunset. And view a unique mixture of desert-adapted wildlife – oryx, springbok, and ostriches.

ETOSHA

NAMIBIA

In Namibia’s north, is a wildlife sanctuary like no other, where the powdery and vast salt pan lends a ghost-like quality to the wildlife. The Etosha National Park spans over 22,000 square kilometers, and at the heart of one of Africa’s most premier game reserves lies the Etosha Pan. A shimmering salt flat that dominates the landscape and is visible from space. This vast expanse of white creates a striking contrast with the surrounding savannah and attracts animals from far and wide, especially during the dry season when water sources become scarce.

Visitors to Etosha can embark on guided game drives, self-drive safaris, or night drives to explore the park’s network of waterholes.

Well-equipped game viewing hides located near the waterholes provide a unique vantage point for observing animals as they come to drink, bathe, and socialize, offering intimate encounters with some of Africa’s most iconic species.

SKELETON COast

NAMIBIA

Stretching along Namibia’s northern coastline, is an eerily beautiful and desolate landscape shrouded in mystery and intrigue. Named for the numerous shipwrecks that litter its shores, this remote and rugged coastline is characterized by towering sand dunes, rocky outcrops, and pounding surf.

Despite its harsh and unforgiving environment, the Skeleton Coast is teeming with life, from colonies of fur seals and seabirds to desert-adapted wildlife such as oryx and springbok. In addition to its natural attractions, the Skeleton Coast is steeped in history and folklore, with tales of shipwrecks, desert explorers, and ancient cultures adding to its mystique.

Visitors can explore this otherworldly terrain on guided tours, marveling at the natural beauty and geological wonders of the region.
