Namibia Safaris - An Overview

Namibia Overview

Namibia is a photographer’s paradise, the stark contrast of ever-blue skies and yellow dunes provides perfect light, and there is never a shortage of subject matter: some of the most dramatic desert scenery in the world, 70% of the bird species found in Southern Africa (an incredible statistic!), remarkable wildlife, world-famous geology, remote African cultures and unique rock art…

The Skeleton Coast is a tragically beautiful place; hundreds of ship wrecks and the bleached skeletons of seals and whales enigmatically dot its length. The extensive dunelands of the Sossusvlei have received equal appraise for their natural beauty, whilst the cave paintings in the rocky Damaraland provide human interest. For Namibian walking safaris and wildife, check out the Waterberg Plateau

Other Options

Other Options

With its beautiful scenery and vast open spaces, Namibia is the only country in Southern Africa where one can experience deserts of these types along the coast.

Botswana's Central Kalahari region is also very arid as indeed is most of Botswana. Other options to combine with a trip to Namibia would be a few days in Cape Town at the end for glorious restaurants, delicious fruit and wine and excellent shopping.

For a trip with a difference there is an excellent ship cruise from Southampton, UK via St Helena Island stopping off at Windhoek and Cape Town en route.
