The three best things about Namibia: scenery, photography and safari. That’s just our opinion, of course. But once you’ve been, we’re pretty certain you’ll agree.
Sights don’t get much better than the view as you fly from Sossusvlei to Swakopmund. Once you’ve seen endless salt pans, epic colour spectrums and ship wrecks from the air, you’ll know what it means to feel humbled. We’re also big fans of Serra Cafema, a remote spot in the north west that borders with Angola, especially exploring the dunes on foot or by quad bike.
Speaking of Sossusvlei, it’s a photographer’s dream – especially at sunrise. Although, the same could be said for the country as a whole. Namibia looks like a glossy photography book sprung to life.
Then there’s the safari. The camps in Damaraland might be relatively simple, but they offer amazing opportunities to track rhino. Etosha, and its private reserves, is a wildlife utopia. When we go, we like to pull up by a waterhole and just wait. It doesn’t take long to attract animals aplenty.
Namibia is vast and varied: you can fly it, or you can drive it. It’s best not to drive unless you’re comfortable changing a tyre (or two). And if you don’t fancy being behind the wheel at all, we can organise a driver for you.
