Spectacular desert vistas, world class game viewing and traditional cultures are the attractions that draw visitors to Namibia.

The most popular route with first time visitors is a 10-12 day itineray focusing on Namibia's highlights, whilst some visitors working on a shorter time frame will concentrate on the wildlife of northern Namibia on a One Week Namibian Safari holiday.

Highlights of Namibia

From the Fish River Canyon in the south and the towering red dunes at Sossusvlei, right through to the outstanding game viewing in Etosha and traditional Himba villages in the north of the country, you will undoubtedly enjoy your time in this remarkable and varied country.  

There are endless opportunities to enjoy the wide open spaces, and marvel in the wild beauty of the desert landscapes.

The capital city of Windhoek, with a population of just over 160,000, is located in the cooler highlands right in the centre of the country, and with its International Airport is an ideal destination to begin or end your holiday experience from.

The eerie ghost town of Kolmanskop, now half buried by the desert sand, is a photographer's dream.

Swakopmund, on the coast, is a lively, German-style town which offers great beer, quad biking and scenic flights over the surrounding red sand dunes. 

The ghostly stillness of the Skeleton Coast, with its fog-shrouded shipwrecks, is a memorable experience.

However long you choose to spend in Namibia, you will come away with fantastic memories, a wealth of stunning photographs, and the urge to return in the not-too-distant future.
