Ultimate Namibia Safari
Your adventure begins in Sossusvlei, where you’ll set foot on the world’s tallest sand dunes, experiencing their awe-inspiring heights both on foot and from the sky as you glide above them in a hot air balloon. From there, take a flight north, soaring over the vast, golden expanse to the eerie Skeleton Coast. Here, the desert reveals its wild side, as you embark on thrilling walks and drives in search of desert-adapted wildlife, including the elusive Hartmann’s zebra, giraffe, elephants, and lions.
Venture further west, where the dunes give way to the rugged coastline, dotted with shipwrecks and lively seal colonies. This is a journey where the striking contrast between the desolate desert and the thriving wildlife creates an unforgettable experience.
