Why we love this Guided Tour

Explore the towering dunes and salt pans of Sossusvlei in the Namib Desert
Discover the Skeleton Coast and Swakopmund, with optional desert and 4×4 excursions
Journey into Damaraland’s dramatic landscapes, home to desert-adapted elephant, rhino, and unique geology
Enjoy superb game viewing in Etosha National Park, with its famous wildlife gatherings at the waterholes

For those wanting an even deeper dive, an optional 5-night extension takes you south to the Kalahari, Fish River Canyon, and Luderitz as well as adding a night at the end in the Central Highlands.

The Namib Desert covers the entire Namibian coastline of over 1,500km and sweeps up to 200km inland. It is the planet’s oldest desert and has an astonishing diversity of landscapes and habitats including the Great Sand Sea of Sossusvlei and the surreal Skeleton Coast north of Swakopmund. Damaraland’s scenic rocky outcrops and sandy riverbeds form a vast undulating landscape that shelters a variety of desert-adapted wildlife including elephant, rhino, lion and some rather hardy plains game. Etosha National Park‘s plains game come to drink during the middle of the day when predators are most lethargic.
