Our Take

icon

There's something special about Namibia. Perhaps it's the arid nothingness of the blood-red deserts, the silence, or the stark beauty of the landscape. Maybe it's the endless salt pans, glorious wildlife or towering dunes. Whatever the potion, those who embark on a Namibia safari are changed forever and return again and again.

Visit the star attraction Etosha National Park in the North or self-drive the country's length along the eerie Skeleton Coast. There is so much to do and see; 4 weeks can disappear in no time. Managing your itinerary and expectations is key here.
