The Namib Desert - a world of otherworldly beauty:
Our safari adventure begins in the Namib Desert, one of the oldest and most impressive deserts in the world. When the sun rises, the dunes come to life in shades of red and orange, creating a surreal and enchanting landscape. Sossusvlei and Deadvlei are must-visit places in the Namib Desert, where you can take the perfect photo amidst the stark contrast of the white clay pans and the dark, petrified trees.
Encounters with wild animals in Etosha National Park:
Next up is Etosha National Park, a paradise for nature lovers. Known for its salt pans and diverse wildlife, Etosha is home to an impressive variety of species, including elephants, lions, leopards, rhinos and numerous species of antelope. The park's waterholes are ideal places to observe these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat, especially during the dry season when wildlife congregates around these water sources.
Cultural immersion in the indigenous population of Namibia:
While the breathtaking natural beauty of Namibia is the focus of a safari, it is also a country full of cultural diversity. Meeting the indigenous Himba people, who retain their traditional way of life, provides a unique opportunity to learn more about their customs, beliefs and distinctive appearance. By working with local communities, you will gain an insight into the resilience and adaptability of Namibia's people in this challenging environment.
Impressive landscapes in Damaraland:
Damaraland, with its rugged and dramatic terrain, is a hidden gem on our Namibia safari. The region is known for its ancient rock formations, including the famous Twyfelfontein, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with thousands of rock engravings that offer an insight into the lives of early inhabitants. Exploring the diverse landscapes of Damaraland and encountering desert-adapted wildlife such as desert elephant and oryx antelope is a truly remarkable experience.
Exploring the coastal beauty of Swakopmund:
Our journey ends on the pristine coast of Swakopmund, where the desert meets the sea. This charming coastal town offers a delightful contrast to the wilderness we have explored so far. From adrenaline-filled activities such as sandboarding and quad biking to a simple stroll along the windswept beaches, Swakopmund has something for everyone.
