Join Us For The Ultimate Desert Adventure!
The Republic of Namibia is a vast, sparsely populated country situated along the south Atlantic coast of Africa. It is the first country in the world that has incorporated the protection of the environment into its constitution. It is home to the oldest desert in the world with some of the tallest sand dunes. We will explore Sossusvlei, a salt and clay pan surrounded by high red dunes, located in the southern part of the Namib Desert. We will drive along the coast to Walvis Bay and Swakopmund and all the way upto Skeleton Coast. Namibia is famous for its wildlife that has adapted to the desert conditions like elephants, lions, zebras, gemsbok, leopard and many more. We spend exclusive time at Damaraland and game drives at Etosha National Park & Okonjima Game Reserve– the highlight of any Namibian safari.
