In addition to utterly surreal beauty, Namibia has fantastic and rare wildlife, including the largest population of free-roaming black rhino in Africa, the highest cheetah population in the world, and a population of desert-adapted elephant. Our safari will have you tracking rhino on foot, climbing the colossal Sossusvlei Dunes, looking for wildlife on Etosha's salt pans, and hiking the Tok Tokkie Trail across the desert, with nights in “dune beds” beneath the star-studded sky in Africa's first Dark Sky Reserve.

Ultimate Namibia and Botswana

View Trip Details

Incredible wildlife, truly secluded parks, and exquisite lodges that don't cater to mass tourism make this safari one of a kind. We explore Namibia's Etosha National Park as few do, from the remote eastern gate, along with private Onguma Game Reserve, home to a family of black rhino as well as lion, leopard, and cheetah. In the land of the Ju/'hoansi (San) people, we'll join San hunters on a bush walk, then head way up to Botswana's pristine northern Okavango Delta, far from the Chobe crowds. Our grand finale is Bwabwata, the new jewel in Namibia's conservation crown, set in the once-forbidden Caprivi Strip of northern Namibia, with a final overnight at Victoria Falls. We cap our group at just six travelers!

Namibia: Green Season Safari

View Trip Details

Namibia is one of the most hauntingly beautiful safari destinations in the world, brimming with astounding landscapes and rare species found nowhere else. We discover this epic land during the “green season” (January to March) as we track leopards at AfriCat and explore World Heritage-listed Etosha National Park from its less-traveled eastern gate. Heading into Namibia's far northwest, we search for desert-adapted elephants in ethereal Damaraland, then discover Kaokoland's remote Hoanib River Valley, which teems with resident desert-adapted wildlife in a vast, mountainous, and wild landscape. We'll visit a Himba settlement while we're in this luminous land and learn about their nomadic culture. Our grand finale finds us at Shipwreck Lodge, perched right on the dunes of the legendary Skeleton Coast. We enjoy all this with an expert Trip Leader who is one of Namibia's best known naturalist guides. The green season is Namibia's summer, a time of bounty, bringing the desert to life to reveal carpets of buttercup-yellow devil's-thorn flowers and swaths of yellow and pink cleomes. It is calving season for plains game such as springbok and zebra, peak birdwatching season for flocks of migratory species, and an ideal season for photography, with clear, dust-free skies and striking cloud formations. Rain is usually confined to a short and spectacular daily afternoon thundershower, which brings the plains alive with new green grass. To top it off, our journey comes at a savings of more than $1,500 per person compared with high-season safaris. Join us to explore the very best places to be during this special season!
