Fall in love with this country’s offerings - from the mystique of the Skeleton Coast and Swakopmund, to the awe-inspiring Fish River Canyon and Etosha Pan. Namibia is a country of contrasting landscapes, home of the world’s oldest desert, predator-rich game reserves, rugged mountains and coastal resorts, modern cities and prehistoric flora.
The capital, Windhoek, situated among the rolling hills of the central highlands, is a perfect blend of colonial-German and modern city architecture, best seen on a stroll down Independence Avenue, which also provides the visitor with good shopping opportunities for ostrich-skin and buffalo-hide leather goods, wood and stone carvings, handcrafted jewellery and karakul rugs.
Swakopmund is Namibia’s premier holiday town. It’s a pleasant coastal resort and perfect as a base to explore the Cape Cross seal colony, the Namib Desert and Sandwich Harbour. Sea kayaking, paragliding and sandboarding are all popular activities here. In addition to visiting these main centres, recommended add-ons to the south of Namibia include the awe-inspiring Fish River Canyon, a unique quiver tree forest and the majestic dunes of Sossusvlei.
To the north the most notable attraction is the shimmering Etosha Salt Pan and the surrounding Etosha National Park, a densely populated wildlife sanctuary and home to the largest Black rhino population in Africa. Visiting the unique Skeleton Coast and Serra Cafema has to be one of the best safaris in Africa.
Due to the vast distances involved when touring Namibia, it is sometimes necessary to fly guests from camp to camp in small aircraft. Longer driving safaris are only recommended if guests have upwards of ten to twelve days available. Time is needed to make a driving safari enjoyable. With the Okavango and Victoria Falls next door, a lot of guests combine a Namibian safari with Botswana or Zimbabwe
Namibia is still developing its own unique culinary identity. Presently, most restaurants offer a variety of continental, traditional German and South African fare with exotic touches like wild game and crocodile steaks. The official language in Namibia is English although Afrikaans, German and Kwanyama - an indigenous language - are widely spoken throughout the country.
Namibia is an untamed wilderness with an amazing diversity and landscapes. Including game viewing in Etosha National Park & the salt pans at Sossusvlei.
Damaraland Camp is a warm and welcoming lodge located in the Huab River Valley in one of Namibia’s most pristine wilderness areas. This area offers endless panoramas over stark plains, ancient valets and soaring mountains
Little Kulala, the flagship of Namibia’s extraordinary Sossusvlei area, attracts travellers who favour first-rate facilities, charming hospitality and towering sand dunes
Serra Cafema Camp is one of the most remote safari camps in Africa. Located on the banks of the Kunene River in North-western Namibia, visitors to this camp have access to a range of exciting activities and the opportunity to meet the Himba – one of the last nomadic tribes.
Skeleton Coast Safaris continues its tradition of hosting extraordinary desert experiences for small groups to the Skeleton Coast and its hinterland.
