Namibia holidays & safaris: a dazzling variety
Choosing the right Namibia holiday
Namibia safaris are highly varied. It’s a vast country, encompassing great diversity – from game parks to stony deserts, and ephemeral rivers to the world’s highest dunes – and with good infrastructure, there are many different ways to explore it. The key choices for safari holidays in Namibia are:
Self-drive Namibia safaris
Most Namibia holidays are self-drive trips. This isn’t intrepid exploration; we’ll plan the trip with you and arrange a car, detailed maps and all the information that you’ll need to explore at your own pace. Roads are usually good, straight and empty; driving is a joy in Namibia. Look for trips named self-drive safaris below.Fly-in Namibia safaris
Flying around Namibia is simply amazing: great for those with limited time, or who don’t want to drive. It gives you a magical perspective on the country’s dramatic landscapes. Flying times vary from 30 minutes to a few hours. You can cover a lot of ground in a short time, even if it’s not the cheapest way to visit. Look for trips named fly-in safaris below.Guided Namibia safaris
If you don’t want to drive but want to explore on the ground, then we can arrange for you to be guided around by an expert on a privately-guided safari. These fascinating and very flexible trips can be as wild as you want – talk to us about designing one just for you.Below are examples of some great Namibia holidays; contact us us to plan your own.
