Namibia is a country of startling contrasts that straddles two great deserts: the Namib (for which the country is named) being the oldest desert on the planet, with red dunes towering 1,000 feet high, lording over the Atlantic coast, and the Kalahari, a vast and sparsely vegetated savannah in the east that sprawls across the border into neighboring countries. This safari, in Namibia’s unique desert environment, will take us through remote coastal and inland areas that are rarely explored by others, for an unforgettable journey of discovery.

Our Desert Explorer Safari begins with an exploration of Sossusvlei’s iconic red dunes and continues to the coast to discover amazing marine life in Swakopmund. We then head up the iconic Skeleton Coast and into the mountains of Damaraland, an area know for its high concentration of black rhino. From there, we make our way to the famous Etosha National Park and explore from a private reserve to top off the adventure with epic wildlife encounters.
