Namibia Safaris - An Overview
Namibia is a photographer’s paradise, the stark contrast of ever-blue skies and yellow dunes provides perfect light, and there is never a shortage of subject matter: some of the most dramatic desert scenery in the world, 70% of the bird species found in Southern Africa (an incredible statistic!), remarkable wildlife, world-famous geology, remote African cultures and unique rock art…
The Skeleton Coast is a tragically beautiful place; hundreds of ship wrecks and the bleached skeletons of seals and whales enigmatically dot its length. The extensive dunelands of the Sossusvlei have received equal appraise for their natural beauty, whilst the cave paintings in the rocky Damaraland provide human interest. For Namibian walking safaris and wildife, check out the Waterberg Plateau

Our Recommended Tours
Okonjima - Home of the Africat Foundation
The cost is per person per night, an overnight stay is necessary to take part in the large carnivore tracking activity.
We suggest visiting Okonjima, essentially a rehabilitation centre, if you'd like to see big cats close-up, support the rescue programme and track big predators in the 4500 hectare rehabilitation park. This is a very worthy programme to support. Highlights include seeing wild leopards close-up, hunting for themselves and a 90% chance of seeing spotted hyena in the wild. Tea with the lions and excellent opportunities for photography.

Other Options
With its beautiful scenery and vast open spaces, Namibia is the only country in Southern Africa where one can experience deserts of these types along the coast.
Botswana's Central Kalahari region is also very arid as indeed is most of Botswana. Other options to combine with a trip to Namibia would be a few days in Cape Town at the end for glorious restaurants, delicious fruit and wine and excellent shopping.
For a trip with a difference there is an excellent ship cruise from Southampton, UK via St Helena Island stopping off at Windhoek and Cape Town en route.
