Namibia

Our safaris to the region offer you the most extraordinary visual landscapes, including a wildlife viewing and birding expedition of a lifetime as we lead you from the oasis of the oldest desert in the world, to the rocky mountain formations around Erongo, through the monstrous salt pans of Etosha, to the waterways of the Okavango and Zambezi riverfronts.

We combine encounters with a multitude of species in true wilderness, which showcase spectacular and vastly changing landscapes. Our journeys cover a range of habitat types, including the arid Kalahari semi-desert, the huge red dune sands of the Namib-Naukluft, the harsh salt pans and bushveld around Etosha, the rivers and deltas of the Caprivi region, savannas, forests, and woodlands, which showcase the region’s rich and varied biodiversity.

Nkasa Rupara National Park

Nkasa Rupara National Park is centered on the Nkasa and Rupara islands on the Kwando/Linyanti River in the south-western corner of East Caprivi.

Despite its modest size of 337 sq km, Nkasa Rupara National Park stands as Namibia’s largest formally protected wetland region. Comprising reed beds, lagoons, and islands, the majority of the park hosts diverse wildlife, including elephants and buffalo. The park’s hydrological functioning and biological significance closely resemble the Okavango Delta, resulting in periodic floods and fluctuating water levels that transform the environment from a wetland to a dry, dusty landscape.

Nkasa Rupara plays a crucial role as a transboundary corridor for wildlife migration between Angola, Botswana, Namibia, and Zambia. It facilitates seasonal movements to and from rivers due to its unfenced nature.

Bwabwata National Park

Bwabwata National Park is a protected area in north-eastern Namibia that was established in 2007 and covers 6,274 km². It was created by merging Namibia’s Caprivi Game Park and Mahango Game Park.

It is situated in the Zambezi and Kavango East regions, extending along the Caprivi Strip. It is bounded by the Okavango River to the west and the Kwando River to the east. Angola lies to the north and Botswana to the south. Known for its riverine woodlands, floodplains, and high wildlife density – including elephants, lions, and African wild dogs – it serves as a crucial migration corridor between Angola and Botswana.

Namib-Naukluft National Park

With an overall area of 49,768 sq. km, the Namib-Naukluft National Park is the largest game park in Africa and the fourth largest protected area on earth.

It stands out as an unparalleled escape for those seeking an untouched and peaceful retreat into to the natural world. Spanning from Namibia’s central highlands to the vast expanse of the Namib Desert, this expansive region offers travellers an opportunity to immerse themselves in an environment defined by immense space, silence, and a profound sense of timelessness.

The park is a testament to the raw beauty of nature, where towering red dunes, some of the highest in the world, meet the vast expanse of ancient plains. Here, the unique desert ecosystems thrive, supporting a surprising diversity of wildlife adapted to this arid environment.

Explore the iconic Sossusvlei and Deadvlei, where petrified trees stand stark against the dramatic backdrop of orange dunes, creating a photographer’s paradise. Discover the hidden depths of Sesriem Canyon, carved by centuries of erosion, revealing layers of geological history.

Mammals roaming this region include desert-adapted Gemsbok, Springbok, Lion, Leopard, Black and White Rhinos, Cheetah, Bat-eared Fox, Gemsbok, Roan and Sable Antelopes, Caracal, Springbok, Kaokoveld Slender Mongoose, Black Mongoose, African Wild Cat, Damara Ground Squirrel, Meerkat, and Dassie Rat.

Erongo Mountains

The Erongo Mountain Nature Conservancy is a private conservation area created by over 30 landowners to

Located between Omaruru and Karibib, this scenic, mountainous landscape features granite boulders, ancient rock art, and diverse habitats that play host to endangered black rhino, leopard, brown hyena, aardvark, black mongoose, endemic Black-faced impala, Damara dik-dik and numerous range-restricted bird species, such as Herero Chat, Rockrunner, Hartlaub’s Spurfowl, and Monteiro’s Hornbill.

Etosha National Park

Etosha National Park, located in northern Namibia, is a premier 22,270 sq. km wildlife sanctuary renowned for its massive, visible-from-space salt pan and exceptional game viewing.

Etosha is unique in Africa. Established in 1907, the malaria-free park’s abundant wildlife congregates around its waterholes, particularly during the dry season.

This offers almost guaranteed game sightings of its extraordinary concentrations of plains game, interspersed amongst strong populations of black and white rhinos, elephants, lions, leopards, cheetahs, brown and spotted hyenas, and giraffes.
