Top Namibia Experiences

    • Spotting the big cats -- lions, leopards, cheetahs -- as they approach the waterholes in Etosha National Park, sending zebras and antelope scattering.
    • Focusing your lens on the mammoth red dunes at Sossusvlei, perhaps the most photographed landscape features in all of Africa.
    • Tracking endangered black rhinos and desert-adapted elephants in the presence of a skilled guide.
    • Riding a hot air balloon over the desert to get the full view of the vast deserts below, a rugged patchwork of sands, plains, canyons, and mountains.
    • Encountering San -- with their distinctive clicking language -- and Himba tribal peoples whose ancestors have occupied these lands for millennia.
    • Coming upon ancient rock art depicting antelopes who look as though they could leap out from a nearby ravine today.
    • Visiting the isolated Skeleton Coast National Park to view the Cape fur seal colonies.
    • Drinking in the solitude and silence of a Namibian night while camping under a canopy of stars.
    • Relaxing at a lodge offering wellness treatments such as massage and mud therapy.
