Tour Overview

This grand circuit covers the best of Namibia in one epic journey: the world's tallest sand dunes at Sossusvlei, the Big Five at Etosha, the desert-adapted elephants of Damaraland, the seal colonies of the Skeleton Coast, and the colonial charm of Swakopmund on the Atlantic coast. From the red sands of the Namib Desert to the green floodplains of the Caprivi Strip, this comprehensive safari showcases the remarkable diversity of landscapes that make Namibia one of Africa's most visually stunning countries. Travel through some of the most sparsely populated terrain on Earth.
