Namibia

Otherworldy landscapes and desert adapted wildlife in this most unique of safari destinations

Wildlife here is both diverse and specialized, with species adapted to the harsh desert climates, thriving in ecosystems that have evolved over millennia. From the rare desert elephants to the adaptable springbok, Namibia offers a living laboratory for ecological study.

A visit to Namibia imparts a sense of solitude and contemplation. The grandeur of its landscapes and the silence of its deserts create a connection with space on a different level that one might find elsewhere. The country’s uniqueness is found not only in its landscapes and wildlife but in the blend of cultures and traditions that have shaped its history. Its landscapes and people tell a story that is both scientifically fascinating and deeply human, offering an exploration that promises not just sights but insight into life’s ability to thrive in the most challenging of situations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Namibia

How much does a safari to Namibia cost?

Our private safaris in Namibia are approximately $800 per person per day. We also offer a set departure starting at roughly $600 per person per day. All itineraries include a private guide and vehicle. Costs may increase if you choose to include any private aircraft transfers.

How much time do I need for a safari in Namibia?

Given Namibia’s extensive distances, we recommend at least ten days for a first visit to ensure you have time to explore the country’s primary regions without feeling rushed.

What is the best way to travel around Namibia?

Despite the long drives, many travelers consider the road journeys themselves to be part of the experience. For particularly remote destinations, we suggest chartering a fixed-wing aircraft (such as a Cessna C208) or a helicopter (like a Bell 407) to simplify logistics.

Is Namibia a great wildlife destination?

Namibia can be ideal for those who appreciate remote landscapes and less crowded parks. While not typically the first choice for a classic wildlife-focused safari, the country’s appeal lies in its sense of spaciousness and its distinctive desert environments that are difficult to replicate elsewhere.
