Namibia Safari

Deadvlei, Sossusvlei, Quiver Tree Forest, Kolmanskop, and Etosha

April 3–14, 2023

Namibia boasts some of the most spectacular and varied landscapes on the planet. Situated along the far western edge of southern Africa, her extensive coastline is bathed by cold Atlantic Ocean currents. Raucous colonies of sea lions can be found here, as well as the wooden “bones” of shipwrecks lost in the region’s frequent dense fogs. A bit inland, onshore winds push desert sands upwards into the highest (and oldest!) dunes on Earth, a harsh environment that nevertheless contains a wealth of extraordinary desert-adapted plants and animals. Rich opportunity for wildlife spotting also exists in Etosha National Park—home to many Africa’s most iconic species, including elephant, zebra, giraffe, lion, and even rhino. Farther afield, other rare landscapes, such as the bizarre Quiver Tree Forest and the ghost town of Kolmanskoop, provide additional unique photo opportunities.

We’ve been leading safaris in Africa for at least a decade and both are extremely well-versed in the region. Together with local guides, we have designed an itinerary that will take you from coast to dunes, and from game parks to ghost towns, covering the very best that Namibia has to offer. You’ll be traveling on foot, in custom-designed game-viewing vehicles, and even by helicopter, and staying in comfortable and exclusive accommodations throughout. Days will be long and productive, and with only 8 guests, you can expect plenty of instruction in the field and during our signature image reviews.
