• Witness the spectacular red dunes of Sossusvlei by air or by foot.  These huge dunes are some of the largest in the world and are composed of sand estimated to be 5 million years old.

• Learn about the ancient tribes of Namibia - the nomadic San Bushmen and Ovambo, the Kavango, Herero, and Damara; and visit the Himba people in the north, easily identified by the red clay coating on the hair of Himba women.

• Enjoy a game drive in Etosha National Park, (which also includes the Etosha salt pan), home to elephant, white rhino, leopard, lion, giraffe, zebra, and more than twenty species of antelope - perhaps Namibia’s most iconic animal.

• Explore the mystical Skeleton Coast and its ethereal landscapes, shipwrecks and wind-sculpted dunes.

• Visit Damaraland, a wild untouched region in Nambia’s north-central region, home to numerous desert-adapted animals including elephants, black rhino and giraffe, plus petrified forests, flat-topped mountains, ancient valleys and rocky outcrops.

• Kayak at Walvis Bay Lagoon amongst the pink flamingoes and white pelicans.

• Visit Twyfelfontein, a world heritage site in a remote area of Damaraland, home to an extraordinary cache of rock carvings created by local San hunter-gathers more than 2000 years ago.

Namibia is for you if you want amazingly varied, striking scenery and fascinating wildlife. To see and understand Namibia fully, we recommend an expert guide or a fly-in safari.

Contrast the desert landscape with the watery wilderness offered by Botswana, or add a few days in Cape Town if you are looking for more conventional comfort. The combination of activities focuses on Namibia’s extreme environments: dune walking, quad-biking, and rhino tracking in the desert.
