Namibia Safari
Desert Landscapes and Endless Horizons
If you are the type of traveler who wants more, a Namibia safari package will give you a new perspective. It is culturally-rich and kaleidoscopically diverse, and whether you’re travelling to the country for authentic encounters with its local people or to capture its countless photographic opportunities, Namibia will leave you changed.
Some travelers say that the moment you realize Namibia has changed you is when you’re standing atop Big Daddy, the world’s largest sand dune, at sunrise, witnessing new dawn colors shift over ancient sands. Others will tell you the transformative moment takes place in the ghost town of Kolmanskop. Here, the desert sands all but swallowed a once thriving community, together with the abandoned hopes and dreams of its long-ago citizens.
A journey through Namibia will take you through a land of contrasts. Sprawling dune seas, mist-shrouded spectral shores and hauntingly timeless horizons. Etosha National Park takes centre stage for its extraordinary wildlife sightings, which are practically guaranteed around its namesake, the Etosha Pan. Swakopmund scores top marks as Namibia’s most charming coastal destination and launchpad for adventure experiences. Sossusvlei boasts the world’s tallest dunes, and Damaraland is home to Namibia’s elusive desert-adapted elephants.
Namibia is the very definition of the great outdoors; only greater. It’s a country of soul and scale, drama and serenity. Here, the sky seems bigger and the horizons wider. Indeed, a Namibia safari package vacation promises a larger-than-life experience. Spend your honeymoon here and enjoy unchartered adventures like a hot-air balloon safari over the desert plains for the most unique sunrises and sunsets.
Best Time to Visit Namibia:
The best time to tour Namibia on safari for wildlife sightings is during the dry season between June and October. May and November are mild in climate, but November can experience the occasional shower as the rainy season approaches. During the rainy season from December to April, expect high humidity and soaring temperatures. However, this is the best time to visit Namibia for birdwatching.

Top Experiences in Namibia Safari
There’s nothing more inspiring than floating over the multi-facetted Sossusvlei landscape in a hot air balloon, culminating in a champagne breakfast in a scenic spot.
The vast white expanse that is Etosha Pan dominates the heart of the park. It is Africa’s largest salt pan and remains dry most of the year, yet it attracts a variety of wildlife who come to nibble on the mineral-rich salts.
Probably the most famous rock art and engravings site in Namibia, Twyfelfontein contains at least 2,500 engravings and was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007.
Set out on a guided night drive into the heart of Etosha National Park; your vehicle is armed with a high powered flashlight which may just glimpse shining eyes in the dark…
Take a short drive to nearby Walvis Bay and you’ll come across a sudden shock of pink on the banks of the lagoon. Flamingos regularly land here to feed on their way north to Etosha Pan to breed.
