This 11-day Namibia safari trip will take to you to three of Namibia’s must see natural wonders. We will visit Namib Desert and Sossusvlei which is home to some of the highest sand dunes in the world. Then we move on to Swakopmund where the desert and the coast come together. We will then discover Skeleton Coast and turn inland into the dramatic and scenic Damaraland. Finally, we will move on to Etosha which is one of Africa’s best game viewing.
After breakfast and meeting your guide for the safari you will depart for Sossusvlei and start the adventure of your Namibia safari trip. We will drive through the Khomas Hochland and down the escarpment via one of the scenic mountain passes and visit Namib Desert. This journey will take about 4 hours depending on the number of stops for photographs. After lunch and settling in at the lodge we will depart for a late afternoon scenic nature drive or an excursion to Sesriem Canyon. As you visit Namib Desert, dinner and accommodation will be at one of the best lodges in the area perfectly situated to explore the surrounding desert and its attractions. Visit Namib Desert and discover that it is the oldest desert and boasts the highest sand dunes in the world. This region is one of the most spectacular areas of Namibia and always one of the highlights of any safari. The name Sossusvlei refers to the vlei or pan into which the seasonal Tsauchab River flows in years of exceptional rainfall. The neighboring Dead Vlei with the ancient dead Camel Thorn trees is one of the most photographic sites in good early morning light. The Sesriem canyon is a narrow gorge about 1 km long and is well worth a visit. Several desert adapted wildlife like oryx, springbok, black-backed jackal, ostrich, sociable weavers and plenty of reptiles and small mammals call this place home. Read more
After an early breakfast and coffee, we will continue to visit Namib Deser and then depart for a morning excursion to Sossusvlei and Dead Vlei. We will stop at the scenic Dune 45 along the way and spend a couple of hours at both Sossusvlei and Dead Vlei. Some of the dunes in the area are a few hundred meters high but the view from the top for those that dare is one you will never forget. After lunch and a well-earned siesta we will join the lodge for a sundowner Nature Drive before returning to the lodge in time for Dinner. Read more
After you visit Namib desert and enjoyed a relaxing breakfast continue your Namibia safari trip as we will depart for Swakopmund via the Namib Naukluft National Park. We will spend the next 2 nights at a guesthouse and have dinner at some of the top restaurants in Swakopmund. Please note that dinner tonight is not included and for your own account. Swakopmund is a very popular holiday destination for many Namibians and will probably be the only place that you will visit on the Namibia safari trip that has a real town feel to it. Wedged between the Namib Desert and the cold Atlantic Ocean, Swakopmund which is known for its very relaxed atmosphere, has something for everybody. There are plenty of great restaurants and bars, good shopping opportunities and fascinating architecture. For the adventurous there’s quad biking, sand-boarding, skydiving, beach angling and scenic flights over the coastline and Sossusvlei to name a few. The nearby Walvis Bay, Namibia’s major harbor town is well known for the lagoon and its prolific bird life. Read more

Our small group had the good fortune to go on two safaris with Nature Travel Namibia in August, 2013. Prior to our arrival, the email communication was very informative and professional. We basically just showed up, and every last detail was attended to. ​ ​ Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and fun. He went above and beyond to make sure we had an unforgettable experience. We travelled comfortably in a small van, our accommodations were clean and pleasant, and the meals were delicious. But most of all, we had the benefit of being in a small group, guided by a true expert, and therefore had the most magnificent wildlife viewings. What a gift. Read more
Nick was wonderful & very knowledgeable about all things African. We saw everything we dreamed of seeing.​ There were 8 of us & he guided us expertly through game drives, lodging & meals. Definitely a 5 star tour!
