What's this trip about?

    On this self drive safari, experience the diversity of Namibia’s habitats and landscapes. Despite being considered a desert country, the occurrence and seasonal abundance of game in certain desert environments only serves to prove how adaptable the flora and fauna in these regions are. Namibia has been referred to as “the land between two deserts” and this safari includes visits to the Namib Desert, from Sossusvlei through the coastal town of Swakopmund and up to the Damaraland area. You will also be able to visit and view game within some of the wilderness areas, including the renowned Etosha National Park
