Things Namibia is good for

Big Cats & Safari Wildlife

Etosha, Damaraland and the Caprivi Strip provide a fantastic array of wildlife. Lion, cheetah and leopard are all present in significant numbers, while desert adapted elephant and rhino are virtually endemic. To appreciate all this from your own vehicle is a bonus, but there is also first-class guiding to enjoy.

Deserts & Dunes

The Namib Naukluft National Park boasts some of the most iconic desert scenery anywhere in the world. Sossusvlei is the most accessible area, where enormous sand dunes overlook the ethereal vleis below. Clamber up one of these dunes for highly photogenic scenes, the desert stretching away in endless ripples constantly reshaped by the winds.

Himba Culture

A nomadic people, living in small settlements in remote northern Namibia, the Himba are one of Africa’s most interesting demographic groups. Largely unaffected by the modern world and highly photogenic in their distinctive dress, their society is based around cattle herding. An excursion to meet them feels uncommonly authentic and unforced.

Hot Air Ballooning

Soaring silently over the dune belts and never ending plains of the Namib is an unforgettable experience. From the best view point imaginable you can enjoy breathtaking 360 degree vistas, taking in the stark beauty of the desert. After around an hour in flight, what better way to come down than with a champagne breakfast?

Landscapes & Scenery

Namibia is one of Africa’s most scenically varied countries, veering from desert, canyons and bleak coastlines to mountains, salt pans and lush waterways. With so many inspiring landscapes you must visit more than once to appreciate the sheer grandeur. Namibia is so sparsely populated that these wonderful backdrops are allowed space to realise their full cinematic potential.

Modern History

The early 20th century was an intriguing time, with German colonialism spreading fast and diamond mining settlements established in the south. These old communities, churches, bars casinos et al, are now largely abandoned and half swallowed by the desert. Exploring them now gives a fascinating insight into the era.

In Etosha, if you pass Namutoni or Okaukuejo, stop in at reception to see the wildlife log, where guests write about recent sightings. It gives you a head start in knowing which waterholes to visit.
