Safaris in Namibia
Namibia - A Land of Extraordinary Landscapes
Namibia – Vast, Wild and Utterly Unique
Renowned for its jaw-dropping scenery, extraordinary wildlife and endless sense of space, Namibia is one of Africa’s most distinctive and unforgettable destinations. From the towering red dunes of Sossusvlei and the ancient landscapes of the Namib Desert to the rugged Atlantic coastline and the wildlife-rich wilderness of Etosha National Park, Namibia offers experiences unlike almost anywhere else on the continent.
With some of the darkest skies in the world, Namibia is also a spectacular destination for stargazing. Far from the light pollution of cities, the night sky comes alive with an astonishing display of stars, planets and constellations - making the experience of sitting around a campfire beneath the African sky particularly magical.
The country’s dramatic landscapes are matched by its remarkable wildlife. Desert-adapted elephants and black rhino roam the remote north-west, while seals, dolphins and other marine life thrive along the famously wild Skeleton Coast. In Etosha, wildlife gathers around waterholes, offering exceptional opportunities to see elephant, lion, rhino and other species against a stark and beautiful backdrop.
Namibia is more than a safari destination - it is an experience that stays with you. It is a very special place indeed.
01.
What wildlife can I see on a Namibia Safari?
Namibia offers excellent wildlife viewing, from elephants, lions, rhino and leopard in Etosha National Park to desert-adapted elephants and black rhino in Damaraland. The country's varied landscapes also support abundant plains game and birdlife.
03.
Can I experience a Namibia safari away from the crowds?
Yes. Namibia is ideal for travellers seeking remote and uncrowded safari experiences. Private reserves, remote desert camps and fly-in safaris allow you to explore some of the country's most isolated landscapes, often with very few other vehicles around.
02.
What makes Namibia different to other safari destinations?
Namibia combines exceptional wildlife with some of Africa's most dramatic landscapes. From the red dunes of Sossusvlei and the vast Namib Desert to the rugged Skeleton Coast and ancient landscapes of Damaraland, a Namibia safari is as much about the scenery and sense of space as it is about wildlife.
04.
Can I combine a Namibia safari with other experiences?
Absolutely. A Namibia safari can be tailored around your interests, combining wildlife in Etosha with the deserts of Sossusvlei, the rugged Skeleton Coast and the landscapes of Damaraland. You can also add adventure activities, scenic flights, walking, photography and time in Swakopmund for a varied and highly personalised journey.
National Parks & Private Reserves
Damaraland Safaris
Leading from the Skeleton Coast, Damaraland is a region of rolling plains and distant mountain ranges with rugged beautiful landscapes. There is wildlife to be found in this near-barren landscape and it is home to the picturesque Brandberg, Namibia's highest mountain which is home to thousands of ancient rock paintings, including the famous White Lady.
Etosha Safaris
This vibrant park is absolutely unique. Its main characteristic is a salt pan so large it can be seen from space. Yet there is abundant wildlife and it is home to four of the Big 5 (no buffalo). Etosha forms part of the Kunene region, and is home to the enigmatic and nomadic Himba, best known for their distinctive red ochre body paint and intricate jewellery, as well as their deep-rooted cultural traditions & beliefs.
Skeleton Coast Safaris
In the northern part of Namibia, immediately below Angola, the Skeleton Coast derives its name from the whale and seal bones which once littered the shore alongside a few shipwreck remains. Despite its arid, inhospitable appearance, it has a great variety of wildlife including the desert-adapted elephant, black rhino, lion, cheetah & hyenas amongst others.
Sossusvlei Safaris
One of Namibia's most spectacular landmarks with its huge red dunes and salt & clay pan situated in the largest conservation area in Africa, the Namib-Naukluft National Park. It is not a primary wildlife destination although life does exist here, thanks to the fog that rises from the sea which drifts inland allowing survival for various nocturnal animals, reptiles and larger plain species.

Whether you are looking for a tailor-made Namibia safari, a bespoke Namibia safari or a luxury Namibia safari, we create personalised journeys through Etosha, Damaraland, Sossusvlei and the Skeleton Coast.
