Namibia

Total Area: 825,419 sq km
Border countries: Angola, Zambia, Botswana and South Africa.
Climate: desert climate
Our Namibia desert tours take you to one of Africa’s most striking countries. Namibia has a dry, desert climate. Rugged land, wide open spaces and dramatic scenery define the country. Along the coast lies the Namib Desert, the oldest desert in the world. Its dunes rise even higher than those in the Sahara.
Visit Namib-Naukluft National Park to see the great red dunes. Marvel at Dead Vlei, a stark white clay pan dotted with dead trees. The space here feels endless. In the north, Etosha National Park centres on a huge salt pan. Wildlife here has adapted to survive with little water.
Namibia has many more wonders to explore. Walk through the Fish River Canyon. Climb the giant boulders at Spitzkoppe. Visit the Brandberg or wander through a petrified forest. Meet the people too. See the indigenous Himba tribes in the north. Or meet the proud Herero people in their traditional dress.
Want adventure under the stars? Camp out beneath a thousand stars in the open desert. Prefer comfort instead? Travel in luxury style at a lodge or camp. Either way, Namibia offers an experience like nowhere else. Book one of our Namibia desert tours and see this amazing country for yourself.

Swakopmund
Swakopmund has long been hailed as Namibia’s adventure capital and for good reason. Nestled along the coastline north of Walvis Bay, the town has grown from a small German colonial outpost to a busy tourist hub.
Sossusvlei & Dune 45
There are no two photos of Dune 45 that are the same, with the time changing, as does the colour of the sand. The sand is over 5 million years old and is located 45km from the Sesriem Gate.
Skeleton coast
At 500 kilometres long and approximately 40 kilometres wide, the Skeleton Coast stretches along the northern Namibian coastline. Often referred to as a ship graveyard, it is here that many wrecks can be seen jutting out of the coastal waters and along the beaches.
Etosha National Park
The vast Etosha National Park is Namibia’s most well-known reserve and is home to over 100 species of mammals and 340 species of birds. Located in the north of the country, the park is fenced to protect the wildlife and natural fauna and is explored by navigating several predetermined roads, mainly on the eastern side of the park.
