Namibia Safari Holiday

A Namibian safari holiday comprises of some of the most compelling beauty and wide horizons worldwide. A visitor on a Namibian safari holiday should expect to experience stark nothingness, because this is the second least populated country in the world (after Mongolia).

In our view, a Namibia safari holidays should at least include three distinct regions, that being Etosha Pan, The Namib Desert, and the northern riches of the Skeleton Coast. A Safari holiday to Namibia is acclaimed as a safari holiday with a difference, famed for its primarily remote and intimate lodges as well as excellent interaction with indigenous people. Wildlife viewing here is unlike any other safari destinations, where species strive to survive with limited water and have hardened to accommodate a desert lifestyle experience.

Namib Safari Desert Holiday

The Namib desert is the oldest desert on earth and is a sea of red sand dunes that lies just inland from the icy Benguela Current. This desert celebrates an abundance of space and a safari holiday to the Namib Desert allows the visitor to inhale deeply and bask in an infinite supply of blue sky’s and tranquil starry night.  Lodges are remote and beautifully constructed to allow you to harmoniously fit in with your natural desert surroundings.

Skeleton Coast Safari Holiday

In the extreme North West of Namibia lies an area of absolute desolation that has been feared by sea-farers in centuries bygone.  This remote stretch of land is fed by some of the richest waters in Namibia, that have deposited numerous alluvial diamonds that have been the goal of several diamond seekers throughout the centuries, yet the task of successfully navigating this barren landscape has led to many of these diamond hunters being reduced to a skeleton, hence the name Skeleton Coast Safari Holiday.  The greater Skeleton Coast area stretching from the Skeleton Coast National Park, inland to Damaraland is home to some of the most colorful local indigenous local tribal peoples still reside in a ancient lifestyle. A visitor is blessed to be able to interact and experience a lifestyle that has been isolated for so long such as the Himba tribe.  Wildlife viewing on your Skeleton Coast safari holiday is a hugely rewarding affair, as sightings are low and you need to work for each and every one.  Animals have adapted incredibly well to this harsh environment including large mammals, such as elephant, giraffe, kudu and black rhino.

Etosha Park Safari Holiday

A safari holiday to Etosha Park is an immensely enriching experience.  Etosha, which means Great White Place, is the remains of an ancient lake which today very few rivers flow in due to an occasional very heavy summer rain fall.  It is an immense salt pan stretching over 20 000 sq kilometers, which in a protective wildlife reserve.  Animals you can view on your Etosha Park Safari Holiday include elephant, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, black rhino, springbok and gemsbok and black-faced impala, as well as a number of predators including the legendary black mane lion.

Private lodges are not permitted within the Etosha National Park yet, on the borders of the Park.  Concessions have been made which allow access of game vehicles into the park as well as traversing their own private game reserves where wildlife roam free.  A prime example of this is the Ongava Game Reserve which was formed in 1991 after four unproductive cattle ranches turned into a prolific 30 000 hectare private concession.
