Vast landscapes, desert wonders, and untamed wildlife - Namibia is a journey through a land of striking colours and captivating wonders.

From the glowing dunes of the Namib Desert to the savannahs roamed by giraffes, elephants, and big cats, and the wild Atlantic coast lapping against Swakopmund, Namibia enchants with its dramatic scenery and extraordinary biodiversity. Here, the elements converge: the stark beauty of desert terrain gives way to the lush forests of the northeast, where Namibia’s Zambezi region reveals another side of the country – rivers teeming with life, traditional villages, and untouched wilderness.

At Sossusvlei, the Namib unveils some of the world’s tallest dunes, cascading into white clay pans. Nearby, Deadvlei mesmerises with its surreal expanse of scorched earth and centuries-old petrified acacia trees, frozen in silence. Northward lies the enigmatic Skeleton Coast - a stretch of coastline filled with shipwrecks and patrolled by colonies of sea lions.

Inland, Etosha National Park showcases the Big Five amid salt pans and open savannah, while in the south, the immense Fish River Canyon - the second largest in the world - stuns with its ancient, carved landscapes.

Swakopmund, set between ocean and dunes, charms with its thrilling vast array of activities: catamaran cruises, sandboarding, and 4x4 desert drives. Further afield, Damaraland offers otherworldly scenery and desert-adapted elephants, while Mount Brandberg shelters ancient rock art, including the famed “White Lady.” In the south, the ghost town of Kolmanskop tells the story of Namibia’s diamond rush, slowly reclaimed by sand. To the north, Epupa Falls provides a serene, sacred retreat within the Himba territory.

Whether soaring above the dunes at dawn, tracking wildlife at dusk, or stargazing beneath one of the clearest skies on Earth, every moment in Namibia is truly unforgettable. It’s a destination for those who seek adventure and the true spirit of the wild.

Discover the highlights of Namibia in a 7 night journey that blends adventure and serenity. From the cosmopolitan streets of Windhoek to the windswept dunes of the Namib, the charming coastal town of Swakopmund, and the abundant wildlife of Etosha National Park, each day offers a balance of scenic drives, immersive safaris, and tranquil moments to take in the vast landscapes and unique rhythms of this extraordinary country.

Extend your experience over 11 nights and explore even further, venturing into the Kalahari Desert and its rust-red dunes, climbing the towering sands of Sossusvlei, and tracing the paths of ancient mountains before reaching Swakopmund and Etosha. This longer journey deepens your connection to Namibia’s deserts, coastlines, and wildlife havens, offering more time for exploration, adventure, and quiet reflection amid the dramatic beauty of the land.

Namibia, located in southwestern Africa, is an exceptional destination offering a unique blend of natural beauty and cultural richness. Known for its vast, untouched landscapes, it is a perfect haven for those seeking adventure, tranquillity, and wildlife encounters. The country boasts modern infrastructure, making travel accessible and comfortable, while the well-preserved traditions of its indigenous people remain a key part of its appeal.

Must-sees:

• Etosha National Park: A world-renowned wildlife haven, home to four of the Big Five and a variety of endemic species.
• Fish River Canyon: One of the largest canyons on earth, offering dramatic vistas and geological marvels.
• Swakopmund: A charming coastal town that showcases the lingering German influence through its architecture and vibrant cultural scene.

Culinary culture:

Namibia’s culinary offerings are a reflection of its diverse cultural heritage. Traditional dishes, such as kapana (street food-style grilled meat) and bobotie (a spiced minced meat dish), are popular in urban areas. The influence of German settlers is apparent in baked goods like kuchen and hearty sausages. Fresh fish and game meat are also common, with biltong (dried cured meat) being a favourite snack.

Dive deeper:

Beyond the iconic sights, Namibia offers a wealth of lesser-known cultural experiences. In Swakopmund, explore the remnants of German colonial architecture, or visit the Himba people in the north, known for their red ochre body paint. For a truly unique experience, take a 4x4 adventure through the ancient Namib Desert, where some of the tallest sand dunes in the world await.

Good to know:

The currency in Namibia is the Namibian dollar (NAD), which is pegged to the South African rand. Ideally visited between April and October, the dry season offers the most pleasant weather for outdoor activities. Transport is well-served by local airlines and a network of paved roads. Public transport is limited, so hiring a car is recommended for more remote areas.
