Safari OverviewOur popular 12-Day Best of Namibia safari will take to you to many of Namibia’s must-see natural wonders, as well as including genuine cultural experiences with the indigenous people of this wonderful country.Namibia really is the perfect destination if you are looking for a mix of rich wildlife, amazing landscapes, authentic culture and fascinating history. On top of that it is also a safe country, with friendly people and a well-established tourism infrastructure.
First, we will visit Okonjima Nature Reserve, before an enriching encounter with the Bushman/San people. Okonjima is home to the AfriCat Foundation and one of the best places in the country to see the Big Cats. Next up is Etosha National Park, without doubt one of Africa’s best game viewing destinations, where we will spend 3 wonderful days.
After Etosha, we will enjoy another educational cultural visit, this time with the Himba tribe of northern Namibia. Then the safari moves south towards rugged and dramatic Damaraland, before heading for the coastal holiday town of Swakopmund via the striking Skeleton Coast. Last, but certainly not least, we will enjoy the vast Namib Desert, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, that includes iconic Sossusvlei, home to some of the highest sand dunes in the world.
