Highlights
Scenery
Discover Namibia, a unique destination brimming with some of nature’s best, untamed artistry and astonishing landscapes - from the mindboggling Skeleton Coast to The Namib, the planet’s oldest living desert and namesake of this land. Picture a swathe of rolling sand dunes glowing red at sunrise and plunging down to the coast; picture vast scoops of wilderness dotted with lush oases, ancient valleys and gigantic clay pans. Add a scattering of striking green mountains, rushing rivers, wetlands and regions almost lifted from space with their peculiar, lunar-like settings. The result? Sheer natural beauty that is truly unparalleled.
Wildlife
Namibia’s remote setting is home to vast conservation areas filled with wildlife, where species such as giraffe, gemsbok, springbok, elephant and lion are all perfectly adapted to desert life. The region also showcases fantastic birdlife - Benguela Long-Billed Larks, Jaegers and Skuas are just a few species in the feathered community. Unforgettable outings include the opportunity to track Black Rhino on foot, as well as a scenic flight along the wild and wonderful Skeleton Coast, stretching as far as the eye can see. Along its stark shores, colossal colonies of Cape Fur Seals huddle for warmth, while, offshore, shipwrecks are a poignant reminder of the area’s harsh marine history.
Adventure
Expect top-class adventures to rival Africa’s best. Join guided eco-treks on foot, jeep or quad bike and explore Namibia’s mesmerising dune landscapes. Meet some of the world’s last nomadic people, the intriguing Himba tribe, and learn all about their traditions and culture. Climb ‘Big Daddy’, the showpiece of Sossusvlei, soaring 300m skywards from a red sand valley. Impress friends at home and capture a sunrise shot of Dead Vlei, a huge clay pan ringed with blazing red dunes, offset by brilliant blue skies and golden rays. Round off an adventure-filled day by dining beneath the stars – Namibia’s clear skies are famous for showcasing nature’s finest cosmic diamonds.
