Embark on a safari to Namibia and experience thrilling wildlife encounters amid some of the most stunning natural scenery that Africa has to offer. From the rugged raw beauty of the Fish River Canyon and the Skeleton Coast, to the towering sand dunes of Sossusvlei, the exquisite Namibrand Nature Reserve, and the lush wetlands of the Caprivi Strip, each region of this most unique of African destinations offers something different. Astonishing contrasts are everywhere for the visitor to savour in Namibia.
The landscape and animals are Namibia’s defining natural assets. For a big-game focused Namibian safari, wildlife lovers should head straight to the waterholes of Etosha National Park, one of Africa’s largest game parks, or to Damaraland and Kaokoland, home to the desert adapted Elephant and Rhino, both unique to Namibia. The northern Caprivi Strip is home to a number of smaller reserves offering excellent game viewing, and is easily accessible from Victoria Falls (and by extension, from Botswana, Zambia or Zimbabwe).
Adrenaline junkies will be pleased to hear that Namibia is equally famous for its adventure activities. Sky diving, quad biking, horse riding, sand boarding, and much more are on offer in and around Swakopmund, Namibia’s adventure capital. Nearby, the lagoon at Walvis Bay is a bird watcher’s paradise and best explored by kayak with an expert guide. Keen walkers will also find much to discover in Namibia. The 80km hiking trail through the Fish River gorge is regarded as one of the most beautiful walks in southern Africa, and the northern Damaraland also offers excellent walking safaris, as does the NamibRand Nature Reserve.
For your Namibia safari, you can choose a fly-in option, which is an excellent way to see the different regions of the country in a relatively short period. There is a huge choice of outstanding lodges available to suit all budgets - please do ask us for our advice! Self-drive is ideal for those who have longer to linger. With an excellent road infrastructure and reasonable fuel prices, Namibia is a superb destination for those who prefer a more independent holiday.

NAMIBIA AT A GLANCE
Namibia is a year-round safari destination, but the best game viewing in Etosha is generally June-October.
Skeleton Coast daytime temperatures are comfortable all year round, but nights can be very cold.
April & May are among the best times for photography due to the natural light - shoulder season rates also apply at many camps and lodges during this period.
Namibia combines well with Botswana and South Africa, with Cape Town a two-hour flight away.
