Compare Our Trips in Namibia

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!

This unique safari brings you to the wonders of Namibia, whose dramatic landscapes, extraordinary wildlife, and visionary commitment to conservation have made it the most exciting safari destination in all Africa. See leopard at renowned AfriCat, track desert-adapted rhino—on foot—in Damaraland, and meet with the researchers of Save the Rhino Trust. In the wilds of Kaokoland, you'll have the world-exclusive opportunity to meet with Dr. Flip Stander, whose lifetime of work with desert lion has transformed our understanding of this unique population. With just six travelers, you'll have incredible wildlife experiences, and your participation directly supports Namibia's innovative conservation efforts.

Join field conservationists and vets from the Giraffe Conservation Foundation and work alongside them for the thrilling experience of tracking and attaching GPS tags to giraffes in the wild—be prepared to be awed! We have two tagging days with the GCF staff and pioneering conservation scientist Dr. Julian Fennessy for an adventure in a unique country that is one of Africa's greatest wildlife conservation stories. Encounters with the giraffe will be unforgettable, but we'll also radio-track leopard at famed AfriCat, track desert-dwelling black rhino with rangers at the Save the Rhino Trust, and meet the nomadic Himba people of the remote Kaokoveld.
