Namibia
Namibia, planned by people who live here.
Dunes, desert-adapted wildlife, a wild Atlantic coast and some of the darkest skies on earth. We plan guided tours, self-drive routes and day trips from Windhoek, Swakopmund and Walvis Bay.
Top destinations
Where most of our trips begin.
Tell us which of these you want to see and how many days you have. We work out the route, the lodges and the driving times.
Atlantic coast
Sandwich Harbour
Golden dunes drop straight into the Atlantic. A guided 4x4 at low tide threads the narrow strip between the dune wall and the surf.
Damaraland
Spitzkoppe
Granite peaks some 700 million years old, shaped into arches that glow at sunset, with San rock art in the surrounding shelters.
Northern Namibia
Etosha National Park
22,000 km² around a vast salt pan. Four of the Big Five plus black rhino, 340+ bird species and floodlit waterholes at the rest camps.
Kunene
OvaHimba communities
A community-led visit to a Himba homestead, with a local guide who translates. Time to talk, listen and learn rather than watch.
Erongo coast
Skeleton Coast & Swakopmund
Shipwrecks half-buried in sand, the Cape Cross seal colony, and Swakopmund for quad biking, sandboarding and fresh oysters.

UNESCO-listed rock engravings and desert-adapted elephants.

Walvis Bay
Flamingo lagoons, kayaking with seals and dolphins, and fresh oysters.
Windhoek
The capital: Christuskirche, Independence Memorial Museum and a lively food scene.
Ways to travel
Guided, self-drive or shuttle.
Choose the style that suits you. We can mix them: a guided desert leg, then a self-drive along the coast.
Guided tour
A private driver-guide and vehicle for the whole trip. You enjoy the view and the stories; we handle the roads.
Self-drive
Car or 4x4 hire, pre-booked lodges, a route with realistic daily distances, and our support line if anything changes.
Shuttles & day trips
Transfers between Windhoek, Swakopmund and Walvis Bay, plus day excursions from each base.

There is no bad month, only different trips. This is how we plan around the seasons.

| Nov – Apr | Hot summer with afternoon rains in the north and east. | Birding, green landscapes, newborn wildlife and lower lodge rates. |
| All year | Cool, foggy Atlantic coast. | Swakopmund and Walvis Bay activities, and a break from the inland heat. |
Good to know
Before you go.
Do I need a visa to visit Namibia?
It depends on your passport. Rules for several countries changed in 2025, so we check your nationality when we quote and tell you exactly what to apply for.
Can I pay in rand?
Yes. The Namibian dollar is pegged 1:1 to the South African rand and rand is accepted almost everywhere. Card payments work in towns and most lodges.
Is self-drive safe?
Self-drive is a popular way to see Namibia. Many roads are gravel, distances are long and fuel stops are far apart, so we plan realistic daily distances and brief you before you set off.
How far ahead should I book?
For July to October and December holidays, book 3 to 6 months ahead. Lodges near Sossusvlei and inside Etosha fill up first.
